DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
The Legislature finalized and passed the State FY 2025-26 budget late Monday night, June 16, and sent it to the Governor, who has until June 30 to sign it and/or issue line-item vetoes. At this point, we’re confident that the items related to our county budget requests are not at risk of being vetoed. I’ve updated and attached our overall budget request with notes on the changes.
The extra time allowed for a more thorough review of Marion County’s overall budget needs, including correction of an error in our shared expenses with the State Attorney’s Office. Additionally, the IT Personnel line item has been adjusted due to a reduction in the approved Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) from the 4% originally requested to the 2% agreed to by the Legislature.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
None
