County adopts FY2025 final budget amendments, approves 3% Emergency Manager raise and sets two millage rates
Summary
The board approved FY2025 final budget amendments for the General and Special Revenue funds, approved a 3% pay increase for the Emergency Manager, set the Veterans Service millage at zero and set STING/SRO at 0.20 mills.
Crawford County commissioners on Oct. 9 approved final budget amendments for FY2025 for both the General Fund and Special Revenue funds. Controller Paul Compo presented the Budget Performance Report for the period ending Sept. 30, 2025, noting revenues were 0.75% higher than the prior year, interest revenue down 13.2%, sheriff revenue down 27.1% and jail revenue down roughly 50% compared with the prior year.
During the meeting the board also approved a 3% increase for the Emergency Manager position as part of the FY25/26 salary schedule. Controller Compo recommended setting the Veterans Service millage (0.1971) to zero, citing the budget and projected fund balance as justification; the board voted to set the Veterans Service millage rate at zero. The board also voted to spread 0.20 mills for the STING/SRO millage (of the 0.4360 available), per Compo’s recommendation. All motions carried on roll-call votes recorded in the minutes.
The minutes show several fund-level revenue and expense changes (e.g., election expenses down ~$60,000; court expenses up 23%), but do not list line-by-line amendment amounts in the meeting text provided. The board recorded that some revenue and expense variances are expected to change over the coming weeks.
