The Williams County Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved the county's 2026 final budget on Sept. 16 after holding a public hearing in which no members of the public spoke. The board opened the public hearing for the 2026 final budget and, after three calls for comment with none offered, closed the hearing and moved to approve the budget.

The vote followed a formal motion and a roll call. Commissioners answered “yes” during the roll call and the clerk recorded the motion as carried. No amendments or conditions were recorded during the meeting. The board also approved the previously presented consent agenda earlier in the meeting.

The hearing record shows no public testimony for or against the budget and no further discussion was reported on funding line items during the meeting. The board's approval completes the county's formal adoption step for the 2026 fiscal plan; the transcript does not specify the budget's total dollar amount or detailed line-item changes.

County staff opened the hearing and accepted public comment; none was offered. The board then moved from the public hearing directly to the vote to adopt the final budget.
