Page County supervisors approve FY2026 carryovers and appropriations, including school and tourism allocations
Summary
The Page County Board of Supervisors approved a set of FY2026 revenue appropriations and transfers that carry forward prior‑year funds for county projects, allocate restricted tourism (TOT) revenue to towns, and accept state school funds for bonuses and program categories, following staff recommendation.
The Page County Board of Supervisors voted to approve a series of FY2026 revenue appropriations and related expenditures, moving prior‑year and restricted funds into specific county budgets.
County staff said $7,000 in vacancy savings from the State Compensation Board will be carried forward to fund office space for a state‑funded attorney position; the animal shelter requested $3,687 from prior donations for a commercial washer and dryer; and the recreation department will receive an $8,000 donation for a robotic field painter. Staff also recommended allocating $25,000 in restricted transient‑occupancy‑tax (TOT) revenue to each of the three towns (total $75,000) with a requirement that towns submit project proposals and provide matching funds for future years.
The school board was reported to have received $306,286 in state funds earmarked for bonuses; staff recommended distribution among instructional, administrative, transportation, operations and cafeteria categories and noted no local match is required. Staff recommended appropriation of all the requests and summarized that the net effect will increase the general fund budget and various enterprise and school funds.
Following the staff presentation, a board member moved to approve the requested revenue appropriations and expenditures as presented; the motion was seconded and carried. Staff recorded the funding sources cited as $10,687 from the general fund balance, $8,000 of local funds, $154,505 of restricted TOT revenue, and $383,435 of state funds to support the various items, and described projected increases to the general fund and affected enterprise and school funds.
The vote concluded that the board would move forward with the appropriations as presented; staff signaled the budget changes will be reflected in official October budget documents and accounting.
