Board adopts FY 2025–26 budget ordinance
Summary
Following two public hearings and a budget work session, the Board of Commissioners adopted the county’s fiscal year 2025–26 budget at the June 16 meeting.
The Chatham County Board of Commissioners voted June 16 to adopt the fiscal year 2025–26 budget ordinance after two public hearings (Siler City and Pittsboro) and a budget work session.
County Manager Brian Thompson summarized that staff returned to the board with adjustments following the work session; commissioners approved the manager’s recommended budget ordinance by voice vote. The adopted budget was presented to the public during two hearings and the board’s deliberations included staff adjustments and direction provided during the work sessions.
No line‑by‑line budget detail was presented in the meeting minutes beyond the manager’s note that staff had incorporated prior board direction; the manager said the recommended FY26 budget includes a proposed $200,000 continuation for the low‑income tax relief program (the program the board later expanded during the meeting). Commissioners approved the ordinance by voice vote.
