Summary
Morgan County commissioners adopted Resolution 2026RES-004 to approve the FY2027 budget using Option C after a 3-2 vote; Chairman Blake McCormack cast the tie-breaking vote. The budget followed a public hearing June 2 and a special called meeting June 8.
Morgan County’s Board of Commissioners adopted the fiscal year 2027 budget (Resolution 2026RES-004) on June 16, 2026, approving Budget Option C after a 3-2 vote. The motion to adopt Option C was moved by Commissioner Nathan Park and seconded by Commissioner Carl Jones; Commissioners Ben Riden Jr. and Philipp von Hanstein voted against it and Chairman Blake McCormack cast the tie-breaking vote in favor.
County Manager Adam Mestres told the board the proposed FY2027 budget had been presented previously on June 2 and discussed at a special called meeting on June 8. The board’s approval completes the formal adoption step at the work session; the minutes note that a copy of Option C is attached to the official meeting record.
The adoption concludes the board’s formal consideration at this stage; the minutes do not specify line-item amounts or tax-rate changes within Option C. Next procedural steps were not detailed in the record beyond the formal adoption vote.
