The Gulf County Board of County Commissioners held their first budget meeting on September 8, 2026, focusing on the tentative budget for fiscal year 2026-27. The board discussed the proposed aggregate millage rate of 5.8854, which is 4.17% above the rollback rate, and approved motions allowing line item adjustments prior to the final hearing. A notable procurement-related decision was the approval of a one-time annual reimbursement of up to $250 for public works employees to purchase work boots and jeans. The board also reviewed staffing changes, insurance costs, and state revenue updates. After discussion, the board voted unanimously to adopt the tentative millage rate and budget, with plans for a subsequent final hearing.
