Budget presentation: staff cites roughly $4.1M in new local revenue and priorities for schools and CIP
Summary
County staff outlined the proposed FY26 budget showing a roughly $4.1–4.4 million increase in local revenue, proposed contributions for schools and a $1.4M CIP funded by a 3¢ set-aside, and singled out personnel and public-safety costs as key expenditure drivers.
Rollins, the county budget presenter, told the board the draft FY26 budget anticipates about a $4.1–4.4 million increase in local revenue and listed the main revenue drivers: public-service assessments tied to reassessment and new construction, a one-time personal-property billing timing influx, and an increase in local sales and use taxes.
"All in all, we're looking at about a $4,100,000 increase in revenue from the various sources that I have just outlined," Rollins said during the presentation. She identified proposed uses including a 1¢ on the tax rate for school contributions, $448,000 in school maintenance staffing, a $206,000 transfer to the CIP, full funding for an HR position and mandated pay changes for constitutional officers’ dispatchers.
Rollins also said the county is using revenue stabilization set-asides and one-time personal-property revenue to balance the plan and fund one-time CIP needs, and that the proposal retains conservative projections for ongoing revenues rather than relying on one-time funds for recurring costs.
