County commissioners approve 2026 budget calendar and endorse federal legislative priorities
Summary
Commissioners unanimously approved a 2026 budget calendar and voted to approve topics for the county's federal legislative priorities after staff presented two draft layouts; both motions carried by voice vote during the work session.
During the work session, commissioners moved and unanimously approved a preliminary 2026 budget calendar and separately voted to approve a set of federal legislative priority topics for further refinement.
A commissioner moved to "approve the 2026 budget calendar and authorize the county manager to address the calendar as necessary," and the motion, seconded that day, passed by voice vote. The board's clerk recorded the motion as carrying unanimously.
Later in the session, staff presented two versions of a federal legislative priorities packet and asked for a board 'thumbs up' to proceed with finer drafting and graphics for county use. A motion to approve the topics — not the final document formatting — was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote.
No substantive policy text was finalized during the work session; staff said they will continue to refine language and graphics with county communications and bring final documents forward for delegations and outreach as appropriate.
