Owsley County officials at a regular meeting reviewed ending balances across county funds totaling $2,058,908.25 and approved the first reading of the fiscal 2025–26 budget.
The county reported the following ending balances as presented at the meeting: general fund $304,455; road fund $1,387,373.58; jail fund $10,665.53; LGEA $1,775.82; solid waste $47,912.89; parts and rec $819.34; LGEDF $7,410.71; Clark Storage $5,203.34; opioid fund $92,128.79; and EK Safe $201,163.25. The presenter summarized the total as $2,058,908.25.
The meeting record shows a motion to accept the budget for its first reading was made by Jason (meeting participant) and approved by the body. Officials said the draft would be submitted to “the department of global development” for review and that Robert Brown (meeting participant) would inspect and return it; the transcript did not identify any additional procedural or deadline details.
The first reading does not finalize spending. County officials noted departments may propose changes before a subsequent reading; the meeting transcript indicates the document will be open for review by officials and returned after the named reviewer’s check.
No public hearing date or final-adoption date was recorded in the meeting transcript.
Ending details: the meeting record did not include a roll-call vote tally for the budget first reading beyond the motion and apparent approval.
