Budget workshop: staff outlines $29M operating budget and $4M in CIP recommendations
Summary
At an Amelia County workshop, staff presented a proposed FY27 operating budget of about $29,000,000, recommended roughly $4,000,000 in capital projects, and proposed a meals-and-lodging tax expected to raise about $472,000; a public hearing was scheduled for the 20th.
At an Amelia County budget workshop, the Presenter summarized staff recommendations for the coming fiscal year, saying "So it's approximately 29,000,000" for the operating budget and that staff had recommended "about $4,000,000 worth of CIP projects" for FY27. The Presenter framed the proposals as conservative, data-driven projections intended to maintain services while addressing rising costs.
The Presenter described the county's ending 2025 fund balance as about $8,400,000 (roughly 33% of expenditures at the audit) and proposed using $442,000 of fund balance (about 1.5% of the total) to provide flexibility next year. The presentation also flagged roughly $1,100,000 in net unfunded mandates and revenue reductions driving the conservative approach; Presenter said the public hearing on the budget is expected on the 20th and that board materials would be posted online.
