Summary

Judge Lisa Johnson told commissioners the county's estimated taxable value rose by about $13 million—roughly $70,000 in additional revenue—prompting discussion of employee raises and projects. The court approved a budget amendment reallocating $39,288.76 to place the SB22 grant in the county attorney's budget.

Judge Lisa Johnson told the court that estimates of taxable value had risen by about $13 million and said that would translate to about $70,000 in additional revenue to help with the 2025–2026 budget. She asked commissioners to identify projects or employee raises that should be considered as the budget is developed.

Separately, the court approved budget amendments that move $39,288.76 from Capital Outlay to SB Grant Expenditures in County Attorney Kyles Miller's budget so the entire SB22 grant amount is reflected in that budget line. Commissioner Dawn Webb moved to approve the amendments and Commissioner Dale Schafer seconded; the motion carried unopposed. The court also approved the April 30, 2025 budget and financial report and several invoices and bills during the session.
