No public speakers; board closes hearing and schedules final budget vote Sept. 24
When the Chair opened the record for public comments on the tentative millage and budget, no public speakers came forward. The Chair called for a motion to close the public hearing; the Clerk recorded a motion by Commissioner Goodbread, seconded by Commissioner Sumner, and the board carried the motion by unanimous voice vote.

The Clerk then announced a final public hearing to adopt the final millage rate and final budget on Thursday, Sept. 24, 2026 at 5:01 p.m. at the Historical Courthouse, 304 Northwest 2nd Street. The board approved scheduling that hearing (mover recorded as Commissioner DeCarlo, second Commissioner Goodbread) by unanimous vote before adjourning.
