Webster County adopts first budget amendment for FY2026 to cover late payments and reimbursements
Summary
After a brief public hearing, the board approved Budget Amendment No. 1 for FY2026 totaling $134,006.76 to cover late radio payments, opioid administration services, WIC vehicle purchase (state‑reimbursed) and other timing adjustments.
Webster County supervisors closed a public hearing and approved the county’s first budget amendment for fiscal year 2026 to cover out‑of‑period payments and reimbursements.
Crystal Lloyd, the county’s budget and finance director, explained the amendment as an accounting measure to cover several items that were paid in the current fiscal year but budgeted in the prior year, including a final radio payment, opioid administration services, opioid prevention/treatment items, and a state‑paid WIC vehicle. Lloyd said the net impact of the amendment is $134,006.76.
The board had no public oral comments on the amendment and voted to authorize the chair to sign the budget amendment and approve increases in departmental appropriations including: Sheriff's Office +$4,600; Public Health +$67,000; Non‑departmental +$63,076.80. The motion carried by voice vote.
Why it matters: The amendment adjusts the FY2026 budget to reflect the timing of payments and reimbursements and authorizes appropriation increases where spending exceeded original line items or where reimbursements have been received.
Next steps: The chair was authorized to sign the amendment and the changes will be reflected in county financial records and departmental budgets for FY2026.
Vote: Motion to approve the budget amendment carried by voice vote following the public hearing.
