Goshen County adopts 2026–27 budget, commissioners emphasize building reserves
Summary
The Goshen County Commission adopted Resolution 2026-15 to set the 2026–27 fiscal year budget, with commissioners stressing the need to build reserve funds rather than deplete them to meet extraordinary expenses.
The Goshen County Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution 2026-15 on July 21, 2026, formally approving the county's 2026–27 fiscal year budget. Commissioner Justin Burkart moved to adopt the resolution and the motion passed.
Chairman Michael McNamee framed the adoption around fiscal prudence, saying commissioners are routinely "expected to do more with less" and arguing for strengthening reserve balances so the county is not forced to draw them down for unforeseen extraordinary expenses. The board's adoption of Resolution 2026-15 finalizes the county's appropriations and spending plan for the coming fiscal year.
The action concluded routine budget business for the meeting; the resolution was presented and adopted during the July 21 session with no recorded roll-call tallies in the minutes beyond the motion, second and a notation that it "passed." The board scheduled its next regular meeting for Aug. 4, 2026 in the EOC.
