The Upshur County Commission voted unanimously on March 19 to adopt the Upshur County Commission 2026–2027 fiscal-year budget and authorized Commission President Kristie G. Tenney to sign the document.
The action followed a motion by Commissioner Samuel R. Nolte, seconded by Commissioner Douglas K. Bush. The Commission’s business agenda noted that “all motions passed unanimously unless otherwise stated.”
Why it matters: The adopted budget sets county spending priorities and authorizes department-level allocations for the coming fiscal year. Later in the same meeting, County Clerk Carol J. Smith presented a related budget revision. On motion by Samuel R. Nolte, seconded by Douglas K. Bush, the Commission approved the revision and directed staff to submit a “Request for Revision to Approved Budget” to the Office of the State Auditor for approval.
Details and next steps: The transcript does not include line-item totals for the adopted budget beyond the adoption action; the Commission approved the formal signature authorization during the March 19 meeting and the revision will be routed to the State Auditor for review, as required by state process. The county will publish adopted budget documents per standard practice. No votes against or abstentions were recorded in the meeting minutes provided.
