The County Commissioners’ meeting on October 15, 2026, included public comment on property reassessment and jail costs. Speakers cited an estimated $4–6 million cost for reassessment, with additional potential legal expenses, but the commissioners took no action on reassessment. A commissioner also questioned the jail’s roughly $27,000 haircut and beard-trimming expense; staff said the service is required and is provided to indigent inmates when needed. The consent agenda passed, and commissioners approved a revised job description for the chief registrar position. The meeting also included a presentation on the county employees’ United Way campaign, which raised about $7,224.

On the 2027 preliminary budget, staff reported that it would use about $1.4 million in reserves and leave a general fund reserve balance of roughly $15.1 million. A commissioner proposed setting aside $2 million for supplemental funding, down from $2.5 million the prior year. For election-equipment delivery, after bids had been opened and the prior provider reportedly went out of business, staff recommended handling delivery in-house by renting vehicles and using county employees and volunteers; commissioners supported the approach, which is expected to save money, but no formal motion or contract award was made.
