# Board of Commissioners Special Called Meeting - October 13, 2026

The Camden County Board of Commissioners’ special-called meeting and public hearing on October 13, 2026, focused on the proposed 2026 millage rates and county finances. Commissioners discussed an approximately $2 million general-fund shortfall, the need to raise the fund balance from about 20% toward the county’s 25% minimum, and the potential importance of reserves and borrowing costs for a future public safety complex. A motion to keep the countywide rate at 11.929 mills failed; the board then approved a countywide rate of 13 mills, with the unincorporated rate unchanged at 1.123 mills and the Woodbine Fire District rate set at its 1.29-mill rollback rate. The board also approved the 2026 Board of Education millage rate and certified the millage rates. No contract award or procurement approval was made.
