The Dearborn County Council opened its meeting by announcing that the first order of business was the adoption of the 2026 budget and then voted to approve the budget.

A motion to approve the budget was made and seconded; the motion passed by voice vote. Council members did not discuss detailed line items during the portion of the meeting captured in the transcript.

Why it matters: the budget adoption sets county spending authorities for 2026; further details and any follow‑up adjustments would be recorded in formal budget documents and subsequent meetings.

What remains: the transcript did not include a line‑by‑line budget discussion or itemized allocations; for specifics readers should consult the county’s official budget documents.
