Dallas County supervisors adopt FY26 budget amendment, board says taxes will not increase
Summary
The Dallas County Board of Supervisors on May 26 adopted Resolution 2026-0068 amending the county’s Fiscal Year 2025–2026 budget to align appropriations with expected year-end activity; the board said the amendment does not increase taxes to be collected.
The Dallas County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 2026-0068 on May 26 following a public hearing to amend the fiscal year 2025–2026 budget.
Operations Director Rob Tietz presented FY26 Budget Amendment #2 at the hearing, telling the board the amendment adjusts funds and appropriations so county accounts match expected completed work by fiscal year end. Chair Julia Helm opened the public hearing at 9:30 a.m. and the board closed the hearing before voting.
The resolution states the amendment is being made pursuant to Chapter 331 of the Code of Iowa and that the amendment “does not increase taxes to be collected.” Supervisor Kim Chapman moved to adopt the resolution; Supervisor Brad Golightly seconded the motion, which passed on an all-aye vote by the three-member board.
Nut graf: The amendment is a routine midyear adjustment to county budgets intended to align appropriations with actual planned expenditures and revenue flows; county staff said the changes reclassify certain transfers and expenditures but do not raise tax levies.
The board adopted the resolution and authorized the chair to sign. The resolution was attested by Todd Halbur, Dallas County Auditor. No member of the public offered testimony that altered the proposal during the hearing. The county will post the amended budget per statutory requirements.
The next procedural step is implementation of the amended appropriations and the county’s usual accounting adjustments to reflect the changes adopted by the board.
