Summary
The county adopted Resolution 25‑2439 setting a two‑meetings‑per‑month schedule for 2026, includes a delegation to staff to approve accounts payable between meetings, and notes a tentative March 5 special election date for a city pit‑bull ban.
The Saline County Board of Commissioners adopted Resolution 25‑2439 on Dec. 2 setting the commission’s 2026 regular meeting schedule to two meetings per month and delegating certain administrative authority to staff for times when the commission does not meet.
County Administrator Philip Smith Haines said staff drafted the resolution after work‑planning discussions and an analysis showing many weekly meetings had light agendas. “The calendar in the resolution incorporates a two‑meetings‑per‑month schedule,” Haines said, adding staff included a delegation of authority so accounts payable can be approved between meetings and ratified at the next regular session.
Haines also noted the county clerk advised there will likely be one additional election canvas because the city is considering a special election tentatively scheduled for March 5 on local pit‑bull restrictions; final scheduling is subject to the Secretary of State’s office.
Commissioner Grievous moved to adopt the resolution; the board approved it by voice vote. Haines said there is no budget impact for adopting the schedule itself. Unspent contingency funding was noted to revert to the general fund if not spent in 2025.
