Allamakee County board adopts FY26 budget amendment and appropriations resolution
Summary
The Allamakee County Board of Supervisors adopted an FY26 budget amendment and an appropriations resolution on April 13, 2026, formalizing fund-by-department spending for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025; the resolution requires the Auditor to maintain separate appropriation accounts and caps spending at amounts shown.
The Allamakee County Board of Supervisors on April 13 adopted an amendment to the FY26 budget and an accompanying appropriations resolution that itemizes fund-by-department spending for the year beginning July 1, 2025.
The board opened a public hearing on the FY26 budget amendment and, after reviewing departmental adjustments, closed the hearing and voted to adopt the amendment (Motions 26.145–26.147). The board then approved Appropriation Resolution #26.148, which — among other provisions — directs the Auditor to establish separate accounts for each appropriation, report monthly on account status, and notes that appropriations lapse at the close of business on June 30, 2026. The roll call on the resolution recorded Chair Tom Clark, Dan Byrnes and Dennis Keatley voting aye.
The Auditor’s schedule presented with the resolution lists line items including General Basic ($75,924), General Supplemental ($458) and a stated grand total of $112,044 across the funds shown. The resolution cites Code of Iowa Section 331.434, subsection 6, and Section 331.437 to limit expenditures to the amounts appropriated or to trigger corrective action if available resources fall short.
Why it matters: the resolution sets legally binding spending limits for county departments for the remainder of the 2025–26 fiscal year and requires monthly accounting and reporting by the Auditor’s Office. The lapse provision preserves the year‑end cutoff for these appropriations.
The board recorded no further changes to the amendment at the April 13 meeting. The Auditor, Janel Eglseder, will manage account tracking and report to departments as required.
