Commissioners approve $75,000 for IRAC program for 2026
Summary
Delaware County approved a $75,000 allotment for the county's IRAC program for 2026 after staff said the request was budgeted and commissioners discussed state funding history and future funding risks related to upcoming tax changes.
The Delaware County Board voted to approve a $75,000 county contribution to the county’s IRAC program for 2026. An IRAC representative reminded commissioners that the county previously received state and local funds and that current budgeting shows $75,000 identified for 2026; the representative said a one-year funding request was under consideration and that the program continues to bill certain services.
Commission discussion acknowledged prior state funding and noted that program funding may change over time; one commissioner observed the need to consider how the program will be funded after planned changes to local income-tax structures in 2028. A motion to approve the $75,000 request for 2026 was moved and seconded and passed on a roll call vote with two yes votes and one no vote recorded.
The board noted the program’s state funding history, city contributions that may be sought, and the need to monitor long-term funding options in light of legislative changes to special local income tax allocations.
Next steps: staff will record the allocation for 2026 and continue coordinating with program leadership and potential city partners on funding for future years.
