Pittsburg County commissioners adopt tentative FY 2026–27 appropriations for General and Health funds
Summary
The Pittsburg County Board of Commissioners on June 15 adopted tentative appropriations of $4.5 million for the General Fund and $550,000 for the Health Fund for fiscal year 2026–27, advancing the budget process to the excise board and public hearing stages.
The Pittsburg County Board of Commissioners approved tentative appropriations for fiscal year 2026–27 on June 15, setting the General Fund at $4,500,000 and the Health Fund at $550,000.
Chairman Ross Selman presented the amounts during the regular meeting held in the county commissioners conference room in McAlester. "The tentative appropriations are in the amount of $4,500,000.00," Selman said when introducing the General Fund figure; he later stated the Health Fund tentative appropriation as $550,000. Selman moved to approve both tentative budgets; the motions were seconded and passed unanimously.
The action is procedural: tentative appropriations set the spending ceiling the board will use to prepare the final budget and submit to the Pittsburg County excise board. Final adoption requires later steps under county budget rules and appropriate public notice. The board did not modify line‑item amounts during the session; commissioners indicated the tentative totals will proceed to the excise board and additional review before any final appropriations are adopted.
No public comment or staff presentation changed the figures at the June 15 meeting. The next procedural steps are review by the county excise board and formal hearings prior to final appropriation adoption.
