Cusseta‑Chattahoochee County adopts FY2025–26 budget; board notes pending income adjustments
Summary
The Board approved the FY2025–26 operating and capital budget to take effect July 1, 2025, after two prior public hearings; commissioners noted pending income‑line changes and discussed a possible mileage‑rate change.
The Board of Commissioners of the Unified Government of Cusseta‑Chattahoochee County adopted the fiscal year 2025–26 operating and capital project budget on June 3, 2025. The budget will be effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, and follows two public hearings held April 14 and April 28, 2025.
Commissioner Jason Frost moved to adopt the budget; Commissioner Gerald Douglas seconded and the vote was unanimous. The budget resolution language included in the meeting packet confirms the public‑hearing process and adoption.
The packet and discussion noted a few caveats: staff said certain income line changes remain pending and the commission discussed increasing the mileage reimbursement rate by 1–2 mills (the matter was flagged for additional consideration rather than finalized). The board also approved related routine items at the June 3 meeting, including a Fire Tower Agreement with the Georgia Forestry Commission, road bids and appointments that are funded through the adopted budget framework.
What happens next: County staff will implement the adopted budget as of July 1. The minutes record that the board expects to finalize pending income adjustments and return any specific compensation or mileage‑rate changes to a future meeting or work session for action.
Budget particulars in packet: The formal resolution and line‑item budget were included in the meeting packet (the packet language appears in the minutes).
