Commission opts to keep 2027 commissioner budget at 2026 levels
Summary
Commissioners voted to hold the 2027 commissioner budget at 2026 levels, approving a motion to maintain the prior year's funding level while acknowledging budget pressures.
Staff asked whether commissioners wanted to keep their 2027 budget the same as 2026. The Chair asked for a motion: "So, let's take a motion that we, entertain a motion to keep 2027 budget at the 2026 levels." A commissioner moved, the Chair seconded, and commissioners approved keeping the 2027 commissioner budget at 2026 levels.
Members noted that many cost drivers (such as health insurance) are outside commissioners' immediate control and that the department would try to work within the existing funding level as the budget process proceeds.
