Budget committee recommends grants, adjustments and a $9.044 certified tax rate to present to commission
Summary
Budget staff reported several no‑match grant applications and recommended budget amendments that increase the county general fund balance by about $1,056,157; the budget committee recommended a certified property tax rate of $9.044 to the full commission for approval.
Budget staff told the commission that the budget committee unanimously recommended applying for and accepting several no‑match grants and making multiple budget amendments and line adjustments.
The grant items cited included an F Y 27 litter grant for the convenience center estimated at $49,200; an EMA grant estimated at $37,759; a DOE grant estimated at $21,000; a health‑department DGA grant estimated at $703,400; a sheriff's mental‑health grant estimated at $53,600; a TCI grant estimated at $15,000; and an SRO grant estimated at $675,000. Budget staff said many other line adjustments are internal re‑allocations within funds.
Overall, the budget adjustments presented would increase the county general fund balance by approximately $1,056,157, largely from recognized revenue adjustments. The budget committee recommended a certified property‑tax rate of $9.044 for the coming fiscal year and will present that recommendation to the full commission for approval; staff noted a different certified figure discussed in the meeting was about $10.34 (state certified figure was referenced during discussion).
Commissioners did not vote on the full budget at this meeting; the committee's recommendations will come before the commission at a future voting meeting for formal action.
