Ada County FY27 Budget Presentations – June 11, 2026

The Ada County Board of Commissioners held a budget presentation meeting on June 11, 2026, reviewing the FY27 budget requests from various county departments and elected offices. The meeting focused extensively on personnel costs, supplemental budget requests, capital improvement projects, and revenue projections across departments such as the Treasurer, Coroner, IT, Juvenile Services, Courts, Sheriff, Emergency Communications, Solid Waste, and others. Several departments requested new positions, salary adjustments, and supplemental funding for equipment and facilities, including a $150,000 drone storage facility and a $24 million landfill expansion. The board discussed the challenges of balancing the budget with a $23 million shortfall, the impact of potential cost-of-living adjustments (COLA), and the need to prioritize or reduce supplemental requests. Revenue increases were noted in areas like recording fees and intergovernmental reimbursements, with legislative efforts planned to adjust recording fees to better cover costs. The meeting concluded with plans for further deliberations and requests for detailed financial scenarios to aid in decision-making.
