Summary
At the Feb. meeting of the Polk County Board of Commissioners, the board unanimously approved the agenda, minutes and consent calendar and adopted midyear budget modifications (Resolution 2602) reallocating $100,000 to emergency management and shifting $20,000 within the Fair Fund.
Polk County commissioners opened their Feb. meeting and, by voice votes, approved the agenda, the minutes from Jan. 28, 2026, and the consent calendar.
Greg Hansen, county staff, then presented midyear modifications to the current 2025‑26 operating budget, saying the adjustments are intended to avoid violating state appropriation rules and to reflect known overspending. Hansen said the package includes an increase of $100,000 in general‑fund appropriations for emergency management, offset by a reduction in general‑fund contingency, and a $20,000 reallocation within the Fair Fund to cover an annual fair overspend. "We do this twice a year," Hansen said, describing the midyear and year‑end adjustments and noting auditors prefer early correction when appropriation authority will be exceeded.
The board had no questions and approved the midyear modifications, recorded in the meeting as Resolution 2602. The meeting record shows the votes were taken by voice and the chair stated the motions passed unanimously.
No additional budget details or roll‑call tallies were provided in the available transcript. The board later announced it would meet in executive session under ORS 192.660 to consult legal counsel on litigation and labor matters.
