Bland County supervisors hear FY27 budget requests from WCC, Bland Ministry Center
Summary
At a March 27 continued meeting, the Bland County Board of Supervisors approved the agenda, heard a $7,749.19 FY27 request from WCC and a $20,000 funding request from the Bland Ministry Center, and recessed to a budget work session set for April 17, 2026.
The Bland County Board of Supervisors met March 27, 2026, at the Bland County Courthouse and approved the meeting agenda before hearing FY27 budget requests from two local organizations.
Dr. Dean Sprinkle, identified in the meeting as WCC president, asked the Board for $7,749.19 for fiscal year 2027 and provided updates on WCC enrollment and programs. The presentation focused on the college's enrollment trends and program needs, which Dr. Sprinkle said supported the requested amount.
Ms. Dee Dee Hoosier, representing the Bland Ministry Center, asked the Board to consider $20,000 in support for the center and outlined the organization's programs and services to local residents. Hoosier described how the requested funds would support Bland Ministry Center operations and programming; specific program allocations were not specified in the meeting record.
Before those presentations, Supervisor Keith Costello moved to approve the meeting agenda “as presented.” Supervisor Patrick Groseclose seconded the motion, which the Board carried unanimously. Chair Randy Johnson later recessed the meeting and announced a FY27 budget work session scheduled for Friday, April 17, 2026, at 3:00 p.m.
The Board did not record additional formal votes or take final funding actions at the March 27 session; the items were presented for the Board’s consideration at the upcoming work session.
