Dodge County staff reported a $1,182,841.78 positive fund balance for the first quarter of 2026 and the board approved $80,058.27 in accounts payable during its May 4 meeting.
County Manager Conner Bearden presented the first-quarter financial report showing total revenues of $5,860,155.95 and total expenditures of $4,677,314.17, and told commissioners that the surplus was primarily the result of tax collections occurring in January rather than December.
