Marshall County holds first reading of 2026–27 budget totaling $28.6 million
Summary
At first reading the Fiscal Court presented a proposed FY 2026–27 budget with a total of $28,619,624 and fund-level appropriations (general fund $12,902,069; road fund $4,445,800; jail fund $2,716,905; 911 fund $1,275,900); no final action was taken on first reading.
Marshall County Fiscal Court conducted a first reading of Ordinance 202604 — the proposed annual budget for fiscal year ending June 30, 2027 — on May 26. Court members reviewed fund-by-fund appropriations and totals assembled for the ordinance summary, but the transcript records that no final action was taken on first reading.
The presented summary lists the general fund appropriation at $12,902,069 (including $5,871,024 for general government and $575,700 for fringe benefits), the road fund total at $4,445,800, the jail fund at $2,716,905 and the 911 fund at $1,275,900, with an overall combined total of $28,619,624. Other smaller funds were enumerated in the reading, including a transient tax fund total of $500,000 and an opioid remediation fund total of $920,400.
Court members were told a complete copy of the proposed budget is available for public inspection at the county judge-executive’s office during normal business hours, and the ordinance summary will be published by title and summary within 30 days if adopted. Because this was a first reading, the court did not vote to adopt the budget at this meeting.
