Summary
The Russell County Conservation District requested $35,000 for its 2027 budget—an increase from $31,500—citing auditor fees and wage increases; commissioners said they will consider the request during the county's 2027 budget process and will sign certification when the county budget is adopted in September.
Dustin Finkenbinder of the Russell County Conservation District presented the district's FY2027 budget request and asked the commission for $35,000, up from $31,500 last year. The increase was attributed to auditor fees and a wage increase.
Commissioners said they would keep the request in mind during the Russell County 2027 budget process; the county budget certification for the Conservation District will be signed when the commissioners adopt the 2027 county budget in September.
No formal vote was taken on the request at the March 16 meeting; it will be considered as part of the broader county budget process.
