Pratt County Commission approves draft budget for hearing, and ratifies July minutes
Summary
The commission approved a draft budget to proceed to a public hearing and ratified minutes from the July 20, 2026 meeting; members stressed the action was to approve a draft rather than adopt final appropriations.
The Pratt County Commission voted to approve the draft budget submitted by the Roy Group and ratified minutes from the July 20, 2026 meeting.
Committee members discussed the draft packet and emphasized that the vote was to adopt the draft for the budget hearing rather than final appropriations. As a staff member clarified, "this isn't approving the budget. It's approving the draft that Scott has sent and telling him that we don't need any more consultation to the budget hearing." The commission then approved the draft by voice vote.
Members also raised questions about prior-year actuals and specific line items. One committee member noted a historical-society allotment listed as 45 in last year’s column and asked staff to verify the prior-year figure before final adoption. The clerk acknowledged the packet arrived late and recommended confirming the '25 column figures before the hearing.
The minutes from July 20, 2026 were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote at the same meeting. No public hearing date for final adoption was specified on the record at the time of the vote.
