Cusseta‑Chattahoochee County adopts 2025–26 budget; millage increase flagged for follow‑up
Summary
The county commission adopted the fiscal year 2025–26 operating and capital budget and sent a proposal to consider raising the millage rate by about 1–2 mills for further review. The motion passed unanimously at the June 3 meeting.
The Unified Government of Cusseta‑Chattahoochee County Board of Commissioners adopted its fiscal year 2025–26 operating and capital budget at a June 3 meeting, approving the spending plan that will take effect July 1.
Commissioner Jason Frost moved to adopt the budget; Commissioner Gerald Douglas seconded the motion, which passed unanimously with Commissioner Damon Hoyte recorded as absent. The commission’s packet includes the formal budget resolution approving the fiscal plan for the 2025–26 year.
County Manager Thomas Weaver and commissioners noted the approval is subject to pending adjustments to income line items and signaled consideration of a possible increase in the millage rate of about 1–2 mills to balance revenue needs. The commission did not set a final millage change at the meeting and directed staff to return with details.
The county held two public hearings on the budget in April, and the approved resolution in the meeting packet formalizes the commission’s action. Related agency budget materials filed with the meeting (for example, a DFCS county allocation attached in the packet) were also referenced by staff. The county’s next regular meeting is scheduled for July 1, when commissioners will continue business and finalize routine minutes.
