Franklin County supervisors approve FY25 budget amendment; accept health board resignation
Summary
At a regularly scheduled meeting, the Franklin County Board of Supervisors held a public hearing and approved a resolution to amend the fiscal year 2025 budget. The board also accepted a resignation from the Board of Health and approved routine items including claims and minutes.
The Franklin County Board of Supervisors voted to adopt a resolution approving an amendment to the fiscal year 2025 budget after a public hearing and unanimous roll-call vote.
Supervisors opened a public hearing on the FY25 budget amendment, heard no public comment and closed the hearing before taking the roll-call vote. Supervisor Lucas Meyer, Supervisor McVicker and Supervisor Van Ness each voted “aye,” and the resolution was approved.
The budget amendment followed several weeks of internal review by county staff, the board said during the meeting. No new public testimony was recorded during the hearing; the board noted the item had been discussed in prior sessions and moved to finalize the amendment at this meeting.
The board also handled several routine but formal items. The supervisors moved and seconded approval of the meeting agenda and regular meeting minutes from April 21, approved county claims, and approved drainage minutes from April 21. During the meeting the board accepted the resignation of Joanne Aaron from the Board of Health and discussed methods to fill that vacancy; the board directed informal outreach to potential candidates and asked Auditor Otter Flint to circulate the Board of Health application form.
