Buchanan County schedules FY27 budget public hearing for April 13

The Buchanan County Board of Supervisors scheduled a public hearing on the county's FY27 budget for April 13, 2026, at 9:05 a.m. during a brief special session on March 24, 2026. Committee member John Kurtz moved to set the hearing, and Committee member Keith Wieland seconded the motion.

The meeting convened at 9:15 a.m. and included John Kurtz, Dawn Vogel and Keith Wieland. Dawn Vogel is identified in the attestation line as chairperson. The transcript records the motion to set the FY27 budget public hearing (moved by Kurtz, seconded by Wieland) but does not include a roll-call vote or tally for that motion.

Committee member Wieland later moved to adjourn, Kurtz seconded, and the minutes record "All in favor motion carried." The special session was adjourned at 9:16 a.m. The county posted signature lines showing Dawn Vogel, chairperson, and Kris Wilgenbusch, auditor, on the attestation line.

The scheduled public hearing provides a formal opportunity for residents to review and comment on the proposed FY27 county budget before any final action by the board. The transcript contains no additional discussion of budget details, revenue sources, proposed spending levels, or votes related to adoption; those items would normally be addressed at the public hearing or subsequent meetings.
