Commissioners approve year-end budget amendments and consent agenda
Summary
Alexander County approved four fiscal-year-end budget ordinance amendments (Nos. 32–35) addressing register of deeds expenses, building utilities, senior center grant reallocation, health department grant carry-forward, and solid waste accounting; the board also approved the consent agenda, including the FY 2026–27 fee schedule and bonds for county officials.
County Manager Justin Mundy presented four budget ordinance amendments intended to close out fiscal year 2026. Amendment No. 32 increases the register of deeds budget to cover state-required payments, increases public building maintenance to cover utility estimates through June 30, and reallocates senior center operations grant funds (with the required 10% local match covered by existing senior center budget items). Amendment No. 33 adjusts general fund operating costs and revenue estimates. Amendment No. 34 uses carried-forward dental health grant funds at the health department and appropriates fund balance for accounting because the revenue was received in a prior year. Amendment No. 35 adjusts the solid waste fund for operating cost differences and budgets for compensated absences per accounting rules.
Following the presentation, a motion to approve budget ordinance amendments 32 through 35 was made, seconded and carried. The board then considered and approved the consent agenda, which included board minutes, committee appointments, the FY 2026–27 Alexander County fee schedule, and a resolution approving annual bonds of county officials.
The manager and commissioners characterized the amendments mostly as accounting cleanups and year-end adjustments; no individual amendment was tabled or amended on the floor during the public meeting.
