Oak Hill commission sets $75,000 emergency reserve by consensus
Summary
At a July budget workshop, commissioners agreed by consensus to allocate part of a projected $93,600 fund balance to create a $75,000 emergency reserve and asked staff to draft a policy and line‑item changes prior to final adoption.
Oak Hill — Commissioners agreed by consensus during a July budget workshop to set a $75,000 emergency reserve in the tentative FY2026–27 budget, directing staff to move funds from the projected fund balance and prepare a policy for future withdrawals.
The session included a detailed explanation from accounting consultant Vince Denaglia, who said the draft shows “$93,600 remains available that could either be appropriated for additional expenditures or could be set aside in addition to the $20,000.” Commissioners debated preserving last year’s $58,100 contingency and several members pushed for a larger dedicated emergency account. Commissioner (S3) argued, “I think we need at least 75,000 put in that emergency fund,” and the commission instructed staff to adjust the tentative budget accordingly and prepare policy language governing emergency use.
