No word on whether there will be another public hearing on 2026 Glen Cove budget

The City of Glen Cove’s proposed $69.3 million budget for 2026 will be passed by Tuesday, Oct. 28, with or without another hearing.

The budget hearing at the Oct. 14 meeting resulted in a vote not sufficient to adopt the budget. Three board members, all Republicans, voted in favor of it, while Democrats voted against it, and Mayor Pam Panzenbeck abstained from the vote as she is prohibited from voting on the budget in the city’s charter.
