Clinton County supervisors review pending state reserve cap, make no changes to FY2027 budget
Summary
The Clinton County Board of Supervisors reviewed potential impacts of pending Iowa legislation that would cap county general fund reserves at 35% beginning in FY2028 and, after a staff review, decided not to amend the recently adopted Fiscal Year 2027 budget. The board asked staff to continue budget and capital planning and adjourned to May 4, 2026.
The Clinton County Board of Supervisors, chaired by Daniel A. Srp, reviewed potential impacts of pending Iowa legislation that could limit county general fund reserve balances to 35 percent beginning in Fiscal Year 2028 and opted not to amend the county's recently adopted Fiscal Year 2027 budget.
Following a presentation and review by the county treasurer and the budget director, the board concluded that recent revisions to the proposed legislation had reduced the immediate urgency for changes. The treasurer and budget director outlined the county's current reserve levels and discussed possible levy and fiscal implications; the board made no immediate changes to FY2027 appropriations or levies.
Supervisors emphasized the importance of ongoing budget and capital planning and balancing tax relief with long-term fiscal responsibility as the county monitors the final form of the proposed state legislation. The board scheduled its next meeting for Monday, May 4, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. and noted that full video recordings of meetings are available on the county's website.
