Franklin County commissioners approve revenue-neutral 2027 budget
Summary
On Aug. 5, 2026 the Franklin County Board of Commissioners approved a revenue-neutral 2027 budget that preserves 4.1% employee raises, relies on non-property revenue and one-time grants, and reduces staffing through attrition; the vote was unanimous.
The Franklin County Board of Commissioners on Aug. 5, 2026 approved the county's 2027 budget, which the board described as revenue neutral and adopted by unanimous roll-call vote.
A presenter for the board framed the plan as a revenue-neutral package that "does not rise by a single dollar over what was levied last year," and noted the county will nonetheless provide "4.1%" pay increases for employees. The public hearing drew no members of the public to speak before the board closed comments and moved to approve the budget as presented.
The board emphasized the budget keeps the county's overall levy stable while allowing for targeted spending and raises. Commissioners completed a formal roll-call vote after the motion to approve; each named commissioner vote was recorded as affirmative.
The commission did not enact any amendments during the meeting; the motion to approve the 2027 Franklin County budget as presented passed and the meeting adjourned.
