The Osceola County Board of Supervisors on April 29 opened and closed public hearings on budget items and approved three resolutions: Resolution 44 (a fiscal‑year 2024–25 budget amendment), Resolution 45 (a compensation schedule for elected officials) and Resolution 46 (the FY25–26 budgets and tax levies).

The board opened the public hearing on the FY24‑25 budget amendment at 8:50 a.m., asked whether any written comments had been received and was told none had been submitted. A county official then asked whether anyone present wished to speak; hearing none, the board closed the hearing and moved to consider Resolution 44. Board members voted aye to approve the resolution.

At 8:58 a.m. the board considered Resolution 45, the 2024–2025 compensation schedule for elected officials. A motion by a board member to approve the resolution, seconded by another, passed on unanimous aye votes.

At 9:00 a.m. the board opened a public hearing on the FY25–26 county budget, again noting no written submissions and hearing no in‑person comments. Board member Schulte moved to approve Resolution 46, with support from Loring; the board approved the resolution adopting the FY25–26 budgets and tax levies by unanimous vote.

Votes were recorded by roll call: each board member present signaled “aye” when asked. The board did not receive written objections or public testimony at either hearing, according to county staff.

The approvals clear the way for the county to process claims and move forward with the adopted fiscal year budgets and levy settings as recorded in Resolution 46. The board did not amend levy rates on the floor at the meeting; the vote adopted the budgets and levies as presented to the board.

Background: County budget adoption proceeds through a public‑hearing process followed by formal adoption via resolution. The board held hearings for both a pending amendment to the current year budget and for the next fiscal year’s budget at the April 29 meeting.

What’s next: County staff will continue claims processing and implement the FY25–26 budget and tax levy schedule as adopted.
