York County supervisors pick 2025 leaders; county administrator asks residents for input on FY2026 budget
Summary
Sheila Knoll and Douglas Holroyd were named chair and vice chair for 2025; County Administrator Mark Bellamy invited residents to submit priorities and questions for the fiscal 2026 budget via yourcounty.gov/budget, email (bos@yorkcounty.gov) or voicemail ((757) 890-3220).
Sheila Knoll and Douglas Holroyd were elected chair and vice chair of the York County Board of Supervisors for 2025, the county announced on its WYCG TV program. The board made the leadership selections at its January 7 meeting.
County Administrator Mark Bellamy said the administration is preparing the fiscal year 2026 budget and is seeking input from residents to shape spending priorities. “As my team and I prepare for the fiscal year 2026 budget, we want to hear from you, the citizens of your county,” Bellamy said on the broadcast, directing listeners to an online form at yourcounty.gov/budget.
Bellamy provided multiple ways for the public to comment, saying some submissions may be featured in county video updates. He listed an email address for written input (bos@yorkcounty.gov) and a voice mail line for questions and comments at (757) 890-3220.
Why it matters: The budget preparation period is when the county administrator builds a draft spending plan around board priorities and community requests; public feedback can influence program funding and service levels before the board reviews proposals at work sessions and public hearings.
The county urged residents to check meeting schedules and agendas online; WYCG TV will live-stream board meetings and post them on demand at yourcounty.gov/tv. Bellamy said several upcoming meetings will include opportunities for residents to speak directly to the board about budget matters.
The broadcast did not provide specific budget figures or proposed department allocations. Those details are expected to appear in budget presentations and work sessions posted on the county website and announced in future meetings.
