Commissioner says FY26 forest payments may arrive in September, not spring
Summary
Commissioner clarified that money approved at the meeting is for fiscal year 2025 and that the county may receive its FY26 secure rural schools payment in September rather than the spring schedule, based on an SRS webinar discussed during the meeting.
Commissioner clarified timing for secure rural schools payments during the meeting: "the money today is for fiscal year '25. '25. And then we will receive our '26 payment in September instead of the new spring call." The remark followed a summary of an SRS webinar that participants said indicated upcoming allocation decisions in August and possible allocation notifications in September.
Participants noted that FY26 amounts appeared likely but were not guaranteed and emphasized they would not count on FY26 funding for current budgeting. The transcript records discussion about the allocation timeline but does not provide a final, official schedule from the administering agency.
