Fulton County commissioners adopted the county's proposed 2026 budget on Dec. 30 and passed the Tax Levy and Appropriation Resolution for fiscal 2026 without raising property taxes.
The board voted after Fiscal Administrator Sue Reed and CFO Mike Lamb presented the proposed budget; Reed told commissioners there were no changes since the document was publicly advertised. Commissioner Steven L. Wible moved to adopt the budget and the motion carried 'All in favor.'
Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to approve and execute Resolution 8 of 2025, the Tax Levy and Appropriation Resolution, which the board approved with no tax increase for fiscal year 2026. The meeting minutes record the motion and a unanimous vote but do not list a roll-call tally.
Why it matters: the county will begin fiscal 2026 operating under the adopted spending plan and levy set by the resolution. The transcript does not specify the total dollar size of the 2026 budget or line-item changes; those figures were not provided in the meeting record.
The board also approved the December 2025 pension report presented by HR Administrator Mary Huston and confirmed that the budget adoption was made based on the materials from the county finance staff. The commissioners scheduled related organizational business for the Reorganizational Meeting on Jan. 6, 2026. The meeting adjourned at 11:15 a.m.
