Grant County Budget Committee elects chair, sets public-comment rules and meeting calendar
Summary
The Grant County Budget Committee unanimously elected Commissioner Mitch Wilson as chair and Charlene Morris as secretary, adopted a 15/15 public-comment rule with three-minute speaker limits, and agreed on a set of spring 2026 meeting dates to meet grant deadlines.
The Grant County Budget Committee met March 18, 2026, and unanimously elected Commissioner Mitch Wilson as chair and Charlene Morris as secretary. The committee recorded motions by Charlene Morris (for chair) and Judge Jim Hamsher (for secretary) that both passed with all members in favor.
By committee consensus the panel adopted a public-input process for upcoming budget meetings: 15 minutes for public comment at the start and 15 minutes at the end of each meeting, with each speaker required to state their name and limited to three minutes. The committee also reviewed calendars and agreed the budget process must be completed by April 20 to allow the Assessment and Taxation grant to be finished by May 1. Several meeting dates in April and May were agreed to in the notebooks provided to members.
The actions formalized at the session included the election of leadership and setting a schedule intended to meet statutory and grant-related deadlines. The committee recorded that Secretary Morris will supervise the minute-taker, Kathy Stinnett. The next budget meeting was set for April 2, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. at the Grant County Courthouse.
