County Manager Mary Furtado presented the Recommended FY26-27 Budget to the Catawba County Board of Commissioners during a special meeting on March 30, 2026, the meeting minutes show.
The minutes state the presentation was made but that no action was taken during the special meeting. The document does not include budget figures, proposed tax changes, departmental requests, or a schedule for additional hearings or votes on the FY26-27 budget. Those details were not specified in the minutes and are therefore not reported here.
The special meeting also included a motion to enter a closed session to discuss economic development incentives and real property acquisition under North Carolina General Statutes §143-318.11(a)(4) and (a)(5). The minutes indicate the meeting was adjourned at 10:36 a.m.
Next procedural steps, deadlines, or a public hearing schedule for the FY26-27 budget were not listed in the minutes; anyone seeking the full recommended budget and timeline should consult the county manager’s office or the official budget documents released by the county.
