Summary

County staff said an additional $1.2 million was moved from the capital fund back to the general fund to help balance the tentative FY27 budget; Sabrina stated the money will be taken from two FY26-approved capital projects.

County staff told commissioners they moved $1,200,000 from the capital fund into the general fund to close the FY27 budget gap. Sabrina said plainly: "I moved an additional 1,200,000 from the capital fund back to the general fund to get to a balanced budget," and later added, "So basically we're taking $1,200,000 away from those 2 projects."

Board discussion did not include the names or descriptions of the two capital projects that will lose funding; Sabrina framed the change as necessary to preserve ongoing county operations and the $25,000,000 revenue stabilization fund. Commissioners acknowledged the difficulty of reassigning capital dollars and thanked staff for finding options to maintain operational stability.
