Fulton County commissioners adopt 2026 tentative budget; final vote set for Dec. 30
Summary
Fulton County commissioners voted unanimously Nov. 25 to adopt the county’s 2026 tentative budget as presented by CFO Mike Lamb and Fiscal Administrator Sue Reed; final adoption is scheduled for Dec. 30, 2025.
Fulton County commissioners on Nov. 25 adopted the county’s 2026 tentative budget as presented by Chief Financial Officer Mike Lamb and Fiscal Administrator Sue Reed.
The unanimous motion, offered by Commissioner Hervey P. Hann, approved the budget document for the tentatively adopted cycle; the board set final adoption for its Dec. 30, 2025 meeting. Commissioners provided no dollar total on the public record during the motion; the presenters delivered the budget to the board for review and scheduling of the final vote.
Why it matters: The tentative budget establishes spending priorities and permits departments to plan for the fiscal year while the board prepares the final balanced budget. Final adoption on Dec. 30 will make the budget binding and may include technical adjustments.
What happened at the meeting: Lamb and Reed presented the document to the commissioners; after a brief review the board voted to adopt the tentative budget "as presented." No amendments or public comment on the budget were recorded in the minutes.
Next steps: The board will meet on Dec. 30, 2025 to consider final adoption. Any changes made between the tentative and final versions should be recorded in the minutes for that meeting.
