Spalding County’s Board of Commissioners ratified the fiscal year 2026 budget ordinance on June 16 to satisfy state filing requirements after adopting the budget on June 2.
County staff said the ordinance represents a balanced financial plan for the year beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2026, with a general fund budget of $75,600,000 supported by taxes, service charges and intergovernmental funding. The presenter said the ordinance grants the county manager authority to manage appropriations within departments while the board retains approval authority for interfund transfers and salary adjustments.
The board entered a 3–0 voice vote to ratify the ordinance. Staff explained the ratification is an administrative step required by state law to allow the county to upload the budget and resolution to state agencies within the 30‑day window following adoption. The board’s ratification does not change the substance of the budget previously adopted on June 2.
