Lexington County adopts FY2025-26 budget with no millage increase; one council member records dissent
Summary
Council approved Ordinance 25-08, the FY2025-26 budget, with no millage increase. Councilman Bishop stated earlier objections over road funding and was recorded voting no on the measure.
Lexington County Council approved Ordinance 25-08 on June 10, adopting the county—s fiscal year 2025-26 budget. The council and staff said the adopted budget carries no millage increase.
Vice Chair Conwell moved approval of the ordinance—s third reading and Dr. Fisher seconded. During discussion, Councilman Bishop clarified that his prior "no" vote at an earlier meeting reflected concerns about a perceived lack of road money in the budget; he said that was the sole reason he had voted against the earlier version. At the final vote on June 10, Bishop was recorded as voting "no" while other members voted in favor and the ordinance passed.
The transcript does not include a line-item roll-up in the meeting record, specific department allocations beyond general references, or the total dollar amount of the adopted budget; those details were not read into the record during the vote and therefore are not reported here.
The council treated the budget as a final (third-reading) item. Chairman Cullum presided over the vote. No post-adoption amendments or referrals were recorded at the meeting.
