Summary

At the close of the budget hearing commissioners recapped agreed edits — moving Fairgrounds office supplies into maintenance, lowering the mowing contract to $5,500, and cutting Fairgrounds capital to $458,000 — then moved to adjourn; the motion passed by voice vote.

The court concluded the budget hearing with a recap of adjustments the commissioners agreed during the Fairgrounds discussion and then took a procedural vote to adjourn.

Recap items included zeroing Fairgrounds office supplies ($300) and moving $520 to building-maintenance office supplies; reducing the mowing-contract allocation to $5,500 (from $10,000) pending decisions about a mobile maintenance position; reallocating travel/conference funds; and trimming capital improvements from roughly $706,927 to $458,000 to reserve funds for a stormwater match and other high-priority items. Commissioner Michael Raskin moved to adjourn the hearing; Commissioner Chad Mallard seconded. The court voted 'aye' and the motion carried. The Chair reminded commissioners of a budget meeting at 9:00 a.m. the following morning beginning with Veterans.
