County finance director outlines FY26 mailer, April hearings and May amendment schedule
Summary
The county finance office told supervisors that FY26 budget mailers are entering taxpayer mailboxes, a public hearing on the budget statement is set for April 2, the formal budget approval hearing is scheduled for April 23 and the next amendment deadline is May 14.
Dawn, the county finance lead, told the Linn County Board of Supervisors on March 6 that FY26 budget mailers are being mailed and that the public hearing on the budget statement is set for April 2 at 9:30 a.m., separate from the 10 a.m. supervisors meeting. The formal budget approval hearing is scheduled for April 23, with a compensation resolution for elected officials to follow.
The nut graf: supervisors were given the calendar and process details for finalizing the FY26 budget and for a May amendment cycle that will allow departments to request reallocations ahead of the June 30 fiscal-year close.
Dawn said the county expects to finalize the budget by April 30 and that the amendment cycle is scheduled for May 14; department-level memos and deadlines will be distributed approximately three weeks before that date. She said, to date, no major deviations from the approved FY25 budget are anticipated beyond routine project and weather-driven adjustments in departments such as roads and conservation. The finance office will present amendment detail before publication so supervisors can review changes prior to notice.
Ending: supervisors confirmed the standing schedule for weekly legislative updates and asked staff to flag any budget concerns promptly.
