At its May 20 meeting the Grant County Fiscal Court approved claims and transfers dated May 20, 2026, approved Monty Leap to prepare the sheriff's 2026 tax settlement, accepted the Grant County Local Board of Health's tax rate at 2.60 for property and vehicle tax, and received the Conservation District's 2026–2027 plan and budget for review.
The Grant County Fiscal Court approved several routine fiscal and administrative items on May 20, 2026.
The court voted to approve claims presented for the general, road and jail funds and associated transfers dated May 20, 2026 after a motion and second. Magistrate Humphrey moved to approve the May 5 meeting minutes earlier in the session and magistrates subsequently moved and approved the claims and transfers.
The court also approved a motion to appoint Monty Leap to prepare the sheriff's 2026 tax settlement. The motion to approve Leap as the preparer was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
The court reviewed materials from the Grant County Local Board of Health (minutes, April 17, 2026) and accepted the board’s vote to keep the tax rate unchanged at 2.60 for both property and vehicle taxes. The fiscal court recorded acceptance of that rate. Separately, the Grant County Conservation District presented its plan of action and annual budget for 2026–2027; the court took a motion that the materials were received and reviewed (no approval was required or given at this meeting).
Magistrates thanked election workers and county staff for their work on the prior day's election. The court adjourned after confirming a May 22 special meeting to complete a second reading of the administrative code ordinance.
