Curry County commissioners approve revised FY2025–2026 budget

The Curry County Board of Commissioners voted to approve a revised budget for fiscal years 2025 and 2026 during a special meeting. The motion was called and recorded as adopted.

The board discussed the revision briefly and the presiding officer acknowledged the work of Treasurer Judy Swift, Robia and department heads in preparing the document, calling the effort “a heavy lift” that provides a clearer financial path forward. No alternative budget figures or dissenting votes were recorded during the meeting.

The vote followed approval of a consent agenda that included multiple personnel actions — new hires, reclassifications and a temporary out-of-class assignment for a jail sergeant — which passed without recorded opposition.

After the budget vote the commissioners discussed proposed revisions to the duties of the board administrative support position, including whether to add public information responsibilities; the board agreed to pursue a job-description update and to seek temporary front-office assistance while the matter is developed. The meeting recessed to executive session under the statutory provision cited by the board and later returned to open session before adjourning at 02:35.

The board did not disclose the subject or outcome of the executive session in open session.
