05/28/2026 Roosevelt County Special Commission Meeting

The Roosevelt County Special Commission held a meeting on May 28, 2026, primarily to review and approve the preliminary FY27 budget. The discussion focused on adjustments made following a prior budget workshop, including the removal of an $80,000 vehicle purchase for rural services and reallocations of funds to various fire departments. The commission also discussed potential grant opportunities that could provide cash matches for vehicle purchases, specifically for the sheriff's department, which might free up existing vehicles for use by fairgrounds and maintenance departments. The preliminary budget was reviewed in detail, with assurances that further updates and refinements would be made before the final approval deadline at the end of July. A motion to approve the interim budget was passed unanimously.
