Summary
The Loudon County Commission on June 30 approved the county’s FY2025–26 budget and a resolution fixing the county tax levy for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025, after adopting amendments including allocations affecting the sheriff’s department and several capital funds.
The Loudon County Commission voted on June 30 to adopt the county’s FY2025–26 budget and to fix the county tax levy for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025.
Tim Rice, the county’s director of accounts and budgets, presented the budget adoption resolutions and related appropriation measures. Commissioners debated and voted on several amendments during consideration of the main budget resolution, including modest appropriations for the sheriff’s department and line-item adjustments to capital and operating funds. The commission recorded roll-call votes on the primary budget adoption and on individual amendments; the budget resolution passed as reflected in the minutes.
The commission separately approved by roll call a resolution fixing the tax levy for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025. The minutes record the tax-levy motion as moved by Commissioner Sviver and seconded; the roll call recorded multiple ayes and two nays and the motion passed.
Among the budget amendments approved during the meeting was an appropriation described in the minutes as $4,500 directed to the sheriff’s department (a cost-of-living-type adjustment and related personnel-line changes). Another approved amendment added two patrol cars to the sheriff’s fleet; that motion was moved, seconded and carried on a roll call vote recorded in the minutes. The minutes list other line-item adjustments and fund transfers intended to cover capital projects, school-related tests, and tax-bill relief programs.
The commission approved a set of additional appropriations and budget amendments for capital projects and departmental needs, with some reimbursements to be made from future bond proceeds as noted in the record. The meeting minutes indicate the items and the related resolution numbers adopted for the fiscal record.
The commission approved the budget, related amendments and the tax-levy resolution and then recessed the budget-adoption portion of the meeting; minutes and committee reports for June 2025 were accepted and the session adjourned at about 7:26 p.m.
What’s next: the minutes list adopted resolutions and budget-committee approvals; any implementation steps (such as bond reimbursements or purchase orders for added vehicles) will proceed through the county’s administrative process as recorded in the adopted resolutions.
