Osceola County supervisors approve levy shift after rejecting full PCC revenue transfer to EMS fund
Summary
Supervisors debated FY 2026/27 budget options including an estimated $300,000 in PCC revenue. A motion to move all PCC revenue to the Emergency Medical Service fund failed; the board instead cut the general supplemental levy by 5¢ and transferred about $41,948, passing 4–1.
Supervisor LeRoy DeBoer opened the budget segment of the Feb. 24 meeting after roll call and the board reviewed proposed FY 2026/27 budgets. The county estimated PCC (prescription drug recovery/other local PCC) revenue at $300,000 for the coming fiscal year; Supervisor Mike Schulte moved to transfer the entire PCC revenue to the Emergency Medical Service fund but that motion died for lack of support.
Supervisor Jayson Vande Hoef then moved to reduce the general supplemental levy by 5 cents and to transfer approximately $41,948 from the general basic fund into the general supplemental fund. The motion was seconded by Jerry Helmers and passed with four ayes (Vande Hoef, Helmers, DeBoer, Loring) and one nay (Schulte). The board also set a public hearing on the proposed property tax levy for March 24, 2026 at 8:45 a.m. for final consideration.
