The Cache County Council’s November 10, 2026 budget workshop focused on proposed amendments to the 2027 budget. The amendments would raise total county spending from about $103 million to roughly $110 million; with the changes, the budget would use about $2.43 million of general fund balance. Major items included $3.9 million in seed funding for the transitioning fire district, a $140,000 increase to make the sheriff’s emergency manager assistant position full time, a $104,000 assessor position, $41,500 to restore fair advertising, $30,000 for ballot-center bathroom upgrades, $10,000 for senior-center dividing doors, and about $1 million reallocated to road construction. Other changes included an $8,105 increase for finance software, a $191,000 countywide reduction from updated health-insurance costs, and proposed transitional library support for Providence; no final amount for the library support was stated. The council also reviewed a proposed $259,369 increase in elected and appointed officials’ salaries, excluding benefits, with a public hearing planned and budget adoption targeted for December 1.

The council discussed drawing another $1 million from the voter-authorized open-space bond to support the Elkhorn Ranch purchase and address prior bond-payment accounting, while keeping Greenbelt rollback funds separate for qualifying agricultural projects. Members generally agreed with that direction, but no formal vote was recorded. The council also discussed a possible contracted commercial-appraisal resource, without making a procurement decision. No other contract award or bid approval was identified; the proposed budget amendments and compensation resolution remained for later consideration.
