ALTO, Ga. – The Alto Town Council is set to vote Tuesday on its 2026 budget, one month after members tabled the spending plan to allow for additional review. The meeting begins with a 6 p.m. work session following by the regular session at 7 p.m. at the Alto Town Hall.
During the November meeting, council members delayed adoption of the budget after Mayor Gail Armour said the city needed to make further corrections on its proposed draft. The draft plan represents the city’s financial priorities for the coming year, including public safety, infrastructure, and administrative operations. Last month’s discussion centered on revenue projects and the need to ensure the town’s expenditures align with anticipated income.
Tuesday’s agenda lists the budget adoption as its first item, indicating the council is prepared to move forward after the brief postponement.
Ivey’s resignation
Also on the docket is the resignation of Police Chief Josh Ivey, who has led the Alto Police Department since April 2017. The council is expected to formally accept Ivey’s departure, though the details on the transition process and interim leadership have not yet been released.
An executive session has been scheduled for personnel matters suggesting the council may discuss staffing or hiring related to the police department or other town operations.
