Warren County commissioners authorized a contract with consultant Peter Franklin to produce a five‑year fiscal projection and analysis tied to recent state tax‑revenue changes.
Chair noted the county is seeking a projection that will estimate how much revenue the county may lose under recent legislation. The contract is listed as not to exceed $24,000 plus identified out‑of‑pocket expenses; commissioners discussed paying from county general fund or economic development if needed.
Speaker 2 summarized that the consultant will consider changes from “Senate Enrolled Act 1” and produce a projection that helps the county plan for several years of fiscal uncertainty. Commissioners approved the engagement and asked staff to confirm contract language and payment source.
No immediate policy decisions or budget cuts were taken at the meeting; the study is intended to provide commissioners an independent projection to inform budgeting decisions for 2027 and beyond.
