The McLennan County Commissioners Court spent extended sessions July 28 and reconvened July 29 on the FY27 budget, receiving presentations from County Auditor Frances Bartlett, Human Resources Director Ana Picazo and Sheriff's Office representatives about personnel requests, cost-of-living adjustments (COLA), an incentive/step pay program and capital outlay needs.
Auditor Frances Bartlett addressed certified values, tax-rate scenarios, revenues and ending fund-balance scenarios; HR Director Ana Picazo discussed personnel requests and the county health plan. Sheriff's Office Captain Shawn Nixon and Major David Ives presented the department's budget requests for Dept. 2200 and related capital-outlay items. The court recessed multiple times and reconvened to continue the detailed budget review.
No final tax-rate decision was recorded in the July 28'29 minutes; the record shows ongoing deliberations and multiple information-only presentations to refine projections ahead of formal budget adoption.
