Uvalde County FY 2026-2027 Budget Workshop

The Uvalde County FY 2026-2027 Budget Workshop, held on July 9, 2026, focused extensively on budget allocations and salary adjustments for county staff, particularly within the County Clerk's office. Discussions highlighted the challenges of funding salary increases due to the loss of stipends previously funded by external sources, with a proposal to allocate an additional $25,000 to help cover salary shortfalls. The meeting also addressed the formation of a salary committee to review and recommend permanent salary adjustments across departments. Other budget topics included funding for contract labor in the elections department, office supply increases, road materials and capital outlay for infrastructure maintenance, and operational costs for county facilities such as the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and Fairplex. No formal votes were taken, but several budget adjustment suggestions and action items were proposed for further consideration and committee review.
