Administrative Director Cameron Duff presented about $3.0M estimated GPET revenue against $3,228,500 in requests; the board approved funding for multiple capital and nonprofit projects, including sheriff patrol cars ($400,000), road equipment ($425,000), and commercial air service ($439,000).
Administrative Director Cameron Duff presented the board with 1% GPET funding requests for FY2026–27 and estimated approximately $3,000,000 in available revenue against $3,228,500 in requests. Duff stated: "about $3,000,000.00 in available GPET funds, with $3,228,500.00 in funding requests." The board reviewed requests from public safety, infrastructure, public health and nonprofit organizations.
The board approved a series of allocations across categories. Major approved allocations included: Sheriff patrol cars $400,000 (5–0); Road & Bridge capital equipment $425,000 (5–0); Commercial air service (WYDOT) $439,000 (5–0); Airport capital projects $200,000 (5–0); Library capital projects $170,000 (5–0). Several nonprofit and community-service requests passed with split votes (for example, Goose Creek Transit $100,000 passed 3–2; Compass Center/CASA $35,000 approved 4–1). Commissioner Jennings recused herself from the Salvation Army vote. A small number of requests received no motion and therefore were not acted on in this meeting.
The board recorded final totals indicating the requested amount exceeded available funds; budget managers will reconcile approved projects with available revenues and the contingency/discretionary fund noted in the meeting materials.
