Simpson County Fiscal Court adopts FY2025-26 budget with 3% employee raise
Summary
The fiscal court approved Ordinance No. 220.263 adopting the FY2025-26 budget, which includes a 3% pay increase for county employees and several interfund transfers and line-item adjustments.
Simpson County Fiscal Court approved its FY2025-26 budget on June 17, adopting Ordinance No. 220.263 and authorizing multiple cash and budget transfers.
The budget passed on second reading after a motion by Magistrate Myron Thurman and a second by Magistrate Scott Poston; the clerk’s minutes record a unanimous vote. Employee Resolution 2025-06-17 EMP, which lists employees who will receive a 3% pay increase, was approved and reflected in the new budget.
During routine fiscal business the court approved the May financial statement (subject to audit) and several cash transfers: $296,000 moved from Opioid Settlement Fund 78 to 74, $198,132 from the General Fund to the Jail Fund, and $62,750 from the General Fund to the 911 Fund. The court also approved multiple line-item budget transfers reallocating small amounts among departmental accounts (examples include moves into Sheriff deputies’ salaries, audit services, tourism, and SCBA maintenance). All transfers were approved by recorded motion.
The minutes do not provide a full budget book in the transcript text; specific department-by-department totals beyond the transfers listed in the minutes are not included in the meeting minutes excerpt.
