Greene County adopts FY2027 budget with conditions; one supervisor votes no
Summary
Greene County supervisors adopted the FY2027 budget after reiterating conditions that contingency funds cannot be spent without board approval and that no new capital projects commence without board action; the motion passed, with Supervisor Hartung recorded as the sole dissenting vote.
The Greene County Board of Supervisors adopted the fiscal year 2027 budget after staff confirmed compliance with statutory public-hearing requirements and after members added language to clarify spending controls.
County staff said the budget resolution, which was advertised and followed a public hearing held April 26, 2026, was ready for adoption. The chair summarized conditions the board required be included in the motion: that contingency funds not be spent without board approval; that no construction, renovation or capital projects may be undertaken without board approval except for routine maintenance; and that no new capital projects were approved in this budget beyond those already underway. The chair read the conditions into the record.
The board voted to adopt the FY2027 budget by roll call; the transcript records one 'nay' by Supervisor Hartung and the remainder voting 'aye.' The adoption completes the statutory process and sets the county's appropriations for the fiscal year, subject to the board's stated restrictions on contingency and capital spending.
