Board approves third 0.25 appropriation requests totaling about $32 million

Smyth County Board of Supervisors · January 9, 2026

Summary

Board approved the third-quarter (0.25) appropriation requests as presented; staff cited a total appropriation request of $32,000,004.87 covering county general, EDA, schools, social services, utilities, sheriff drug accounts, e-summons fund and recovery court. The figures prompted requests for clarification during the meeting.

Staff presented the third 0.25 appropriation requests at the Jan. 8 meeting and the board voted to approve them by voice vote.

“The total appropriation request would be $32,000,004.87,” staff reported while explaining that the requests cover county general, the EDA, schools, social services, water and sewer deposits, sheriff drug accounts (federal and state), the e-summons fund, and recovery court. Several board members asked follow-up questions but the motion to approve the appropriation as presented passed without a recorded roll-call tally. The transcript contains an immediate reaction to a previously stated financial grand-total that appeared inconsistent and prompted clarification — articles quote the numbers as spoken and flag the inconsistency for follow-up.
