Appomattox County holds public hearing on proposed FY2027 budget of $60,567,184

Appomattox County held a duly advertised public hearing on its proposed fiscal year 2027 budget totaling $60,567,184, the meeting’s presiding official said. Staff recommended the body consider approval at its regular meeting on Monday, May 18, 2026.

The presiding official (transcript label S2) announced the combined proposal covered the counties, schools and DSS and asked whether anyone wished to speak; the chair said, "Nobody to speak." With no public comment, the chair asked for—and announced—the motion to close the hearing. The chair stated that Reverend Jones moved to close the public hearing and that Mister Simpson seconded; the chair called a voice vote and said the motion carried, formally closing the hearing.

During a brief procedural exchange, the chair asked Miss Adams to state for the record that the budget would not be adopted that night and reiterated that final consideration was planned for the May 18 meeting at 6 p.m. The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn (announced as moved by Mister Hips and seconded by Reverend Jones) and a voice vote in favor.

No statutory citations, budget line-item breakdowns, or public testimony appear in the transcript; staff recommended action and the body set a date for final consideration. The next regular meeting was announced for Monday, May 18, 2026, at 6 p.m. in the same meeting room.
