Business Support Services Division Director Laura Holmes and Budget Director Van Church reported to the Commission on the 2027 supplemental operating budget request and the broader 2027–29 operating budget development. Staff told commissioners that both the supplemental and biennial budget requests will be submitted to the Office of Financial Management in September and outlined timing and preparatory steps.

The briefing covered high‑level assumptions and timelines; no final budget document was approved at the work session. Commissioners asked procedural questions about priorities and timing; staff indicated further details and formal budget proposals will be brought to the Commission before final submission deadlines.
