Glynn County officials have set the stage for the upcoming fiscal year by adopting the budget calendar during the Finance Committee Meeting on October 2, 2025. This structured timeline outlines key dates for the budget process, including public hearings and the final adoption scheduled for June 2026.

The budget process kicks off in November with a meeting involving all department heads, where guidelines for budget preparation are discussed. This initial gathering is crucial as it ensures that all departments understand the requirements for submitting their budget requests, including capital projects. Following this, from February onwards, the budget team will meet individually with each department to review their specific budget requests, allowing for detailed discussions and justifications.

Commissioners were informed that while they are welcome to attend these internal meetings, they must limit their participation to avoid a quorum. This ensures that discussions remain focused and productive. The budget team emphasized the importance of these meetings, noting that they will compile a summary of personnel and capital requests to present to the commissioners at the end of the process.

In addition to the budget calendar, the committee also moved to award a contract to Curb and Gutter Professionals for infrastructure improvements, highlighting the county's commitment to enhancing public services.

The adoption of the budget calendar marks a significant step in Glynn County's financial planning, ensuring transparency and community involvement as the county prepares for the upcoming fiscal year. As the budget process unfolds, residents can expect to see how these decisions will impact local services and infrastructure development.
