Josephine County adopts supplemental budget and approves consent calendar

The Josephine County Board of Commissioners voted 3-0 on May 13 to adopt Resolution No. 2026-012, a supplemental budget and set of appropriation adjustments for fiscal year 2025-26. Commissioner Gary L. Richardson moved to adopt the resolution and Commissioner Colene M. Martin seconded; the roll-call vote was Richardson — yes, Martin — yes, Smith — yes. The minutes do not specify the dollar amount or line-item changes contained in the supplemental budget.

The resolution was the principal formal action taken during the weekly business session. Commissioners did not record debate or departmental presentations about the budget adjustments in the minutes; the motion proceeded to a roll-call vote and was approved. The adoption adjusts appropriations for FY 2025-26 as indicated by the resolution number, but the minutes state the specific amounts and affected departments as "not specified."

During the same meeting the board also approved the consent calendar, which included the listed draft minutes from prior hearings, workshops and sessions. Commissioner Richardson moved to approve the consent calendar and Commissioner Martin seconded; the motion passed on a 3-0 roll-call vote with the same vote pattern. The consent calendar items are listed in the minutes but individual consent items are not described as contested.

The weekly business session was called to order at 5:30 p.m. and adjourned at 5:53 p.m. by Chair Ron A. Smith. Recorder Nikole Guzman certified the minutes. No further formal budget actions or amendments were recorded in the minutes for this session.
