body
Background and Purpose of Request:
The County Manager will present the 2026/2027 proposed manager’s budget to the County Commissioners. This budget includes the General Fund, Jail and Cross Insurance Arena budgets.
As a result of uncertainty with federal revenues at the Jail, this year’s budget will be presented showing revenues and the impacts of no jail revenues and how the difference reflects on the tax rate.
Please refer to the attached budget memo and proposed budget to learn more of what is proposed for the 2026/2027 budget year starting July 1, 2027.
It is customary for the County Commissioners to remand the proposed budget to the appointed Finance Committee for further review and guidance. The Finance Committee is slated to meet on December 9, January 6, January 27, 2026 and February 10, 2026.
