Supervisors authorize request for quarterly financial updates beginning FY2026
Summary
The board authorized a supervisor to request that the finance department and treasurer provide quarterly financial updates beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 to improve budget transparency and planning.
The Johnson County Board of Supervisors authorized a request for regular quarterly financial updates from county finance and the treasurer, to begin in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026.
Supervisor Fixmore Reisz raised the item during the supervisors’ business portion of the meeting, saying the board has discussed the idea informally and that a formal mechanism would help during budget season. “I would like to have something put together so that we can get more quarterly updates about our financials,” Supervisor Fixmore Reisiz said, requesting that finance and the treasurer coordinate a regular report once the county completes its Workday implementation.
The chair authorized Supervisor Fixmore Reisiz to proceed with outreach to the finance department and treasurer’s office to design and request the quarterly update beginning after the first of the fiscal year. No formal motion with a recorded roll-call vote was entered in the transcript for this direction; the action was recorded as authorization to proceed.
Why it matters: Regular quarterly reporting is intended to give supervisors an ongoing view of county revenues, expenditures and trending ahead of budget season. Supervisor Fixmore Reisiz said the change is intended to avoid scrambling for information when the budget process begins and noted she had contacted Linn County about best practices.
Implementation and next steps The chair’s authorization directs Supervisor Fixmore Reisiz to work with the finance department and treasurer to develop a quarterly reporting approach; timing was tied to completion of the county’s Workday rollout. The meeting transcript indicates the request is intended to begin in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 but does not include a formal implementation schedule or template for the reports.
Ending Supervisors indicated support for increased financial reporting; details and the reporting format will be developed by county staff and the treasurer’s office.
