Council adopts 2026 budget

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.
