Greene County commissioners approve FY2025–26 proposed budget, playground funding and a string of routine measures
Summary
Greene County commissioners approved the proposed FY2025–26 budget and several related measures, including a capital-project ordinance to accept a Trillium playground grant, at a board meeting.
At a meeting of the Greene County Board of Commissioners, members approved the proposed fiscal-year 2025–26 budget and took several related votes, including a capital-project budget ordinance to accept Trillium playground funding, a senior-center budget amendment, updates to the voluntary agricultural district ordinance and two reappointments to the Board of Health.
The board opened and closed a public hearing on the proposed 2025–26 budget; there were no public speakers. After discussion, a motion to approve the proposed 2025–26 budget ordinance carried by voice vote.
The board also approved a capital-project budget ordinance to accept playground funding tied to a Trillium grant. Commissioners discussed procurement timing and installation logistics and stated the county would use a local fund-balance match alongside the Trillium contribution. County staff said they would proceed with ordering and installation planning following vendor lead times cited by Trillium.
Other votes taken by the board during the meeting included:
- Approval of a Men's Health Month proclamation. - Approval of an update to the voluntary agricultural district ordinance and appointment of the proposed local advisory-board members. - Approval of a resolution authorizing additional county staff (county manager and finance officer) to access the state's new electronic portal to submit requisitions and pay requests for state water-infrastructure grants (the portal requires individual NCID logins). The board limited the expanded authorization to pay-request submission and retained board-level authority for contractual approvals and change orders. - Reappointment of Sharon Smith and Lauren Pate to the Greene County Board of Health. - Approval of a budget amendment for the senior center (movement of program monies that touches fund balance; the board follows a policy to present fund-balance items for approval). - Approval to move into closed session for economic-development attorney-client privilege. - Acceptance of the consent agenda and approval of routine agenda items and minutes.
All motions carried by voice vote during the meeting; roll-call tallies were not recorded in the public transcript.
Board members and staff who spoke on these items include Chairman Heath, County Manager Cannon, Commissioner Jones and county staff who presented ordinance and budget items. Several motions were made and seconded; where a speaker identified a mover on the record the transcript records the motion (for example, "Mister, I move to approve the proposed 2526 budget"), and the chair called for and recorded aye votes with no recorded nays.
