Board adopts appropriation resolution for fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026
Summary
The board adopted Resolution No. 40‑2026 to make appropriations for county offices and departments for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026; the measure passed on a roll call with all supervisors voting Aye.
The Pottawattamie County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 40‑2026, making appropriations for each office and department for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026.
Becky Knight Ham, Finance and Tax Officer in the Auditor's Office, told the board the resolution is required so departments can begin spending the budgets approved previously. When supervisors asked about the process for making cuts after appropriations, she said the board would follow an amendment process to decrease expenditures if needed and offered to provide a definitive procedure in writing.
Supervisor Wickman moved to approve the resolution and Supervisor Miller seconded. The board approved the resolution by roll call: Chairman Shay (Aye), Supervisor Wickman (Aye), Supervisor Miller (Aye), Supervisor Jorgensen (Aye) and Supervisor Jones (Aye).
The resolution allows departments to begin utilizing approved budgets on July 1; any later changes to appropriations would require formal amendments.
