Commissioners keep FY27 decisions for final session; key items flagged for tomorrow
Summary
The court confirmed items to revisit at the final budget meeting: confirmation of the 5% across-the-board increase for volunteer fire departments, Bergheim's $566,067 supplemental ask, a $230,000 truck upgrade for Sisterdale (if new), Comfort's $40,000 part-time funding, an $18,000 medical director cost for one department, a proposed $6,000 stipend, a pay-step change for Brady, and a $20,000 weather-support item.
Before adjourning, the chair summarized the list of items to finalize at the court's next meeting, including whether to adopt the draft 5% across-the-board increase for volunteer fire departments, a $566,067 supplemental allotment request for Bergheim, a potential $230,000 truck upgrade for Sisterdale if a new unit is chosen, Comfort's $40,000 request for part-time funding, an $18,000 line-item related to medical-director services noted by one department, a proposed $6,000 stipend for disaster support, a recommended step increase for the emergency management coordinator, and a $20,000 request for weather-support services.
The chair said the court will meet the following day in an extended session with the county clerk present to finalize budget numbers and asked staff to prepare requested detail so commissioners can make informed allocations. The special call meeting was then adjourned.
