Grant County Fiscal Court adopts $21.7 million fiscal year budget, approves claims and transfers
Summary
Grant County Fiscal Court on June 23 approved its fiscal year 2026–27 budget of $21,735,062, approved year-end claims and transfers including a $51,400 transfer from a medical-reimbursement account, accepted the sheriff's 2025 tax settlement and approved salary schedules and proposed road-aid allocations.
The Grant County Fiscal Court voted on June 23 to adopt a $21,735,062 budget for fiscal year 2026–27 and approved a slate of year-end fiscal measures, including claims for the general, road and jail funds, transfers and a move of roughly $51,400 from a medical-reimbursement account into the general fund.
Magistrate Codar moved to approve the second reading and final adoption of the FY 2026–27 budget ordinance, which the court approved by voice vote. The court noted the budget had previously been approved by the fiscal court in May and that the Department for Local Government signed off on May 29, 2026; the transcript records Robert Brown as the State Local Finance Officer who reviewed the submission.
The court also approved claims and transfers dated June 23, 2026 as part of year-end closing, and it voted to transfer excess funds that had accumulated in an employee medical-reimbursement (flexible spending) account into the general fund at the county treasurer's direction. "That's funds that's been sitting in that account," the presiding official said when introducing the transfer for a vote.
The body accepted the Grant County sheriff's 2025 tax settlement as prepared by the listed preparer; the settlement was approved by voice vote and the preparer's fee was noted in the record as $300. The court also approved salaries for employees of the fiscal court, road department, sheriff's office and detention center.
On related fiscal business, Magistrate Riley moved and the court approved the proposed 2026–27 use of County Road Aid and the Local Government Economic Assistance (LGEA) fund. The court recorded that approximately one shy of $1,100,000 was available in county road aid for the road department and roughly $31,150 was available in LGEA; the stated plan is to use those funds for paving, roadwork and road-department personnel.
The court's actions were recorded as voice votes with motions made, seconded and carried; no roll-call tallies were read into the record. The court set its next meeting for July 7, 2026, at 6 p.m. at the courthouse.
What happens next: The ordinance adopting the budget was passed on second reading and will be reflected in county accounts for the 2026–27 fiscal year; separate taxing districts (for example, an ambulance district) continue to prepare and audit their own budgets and were not consolidated into the fiscal court's packet.
