Budget and finance

The agenda listed a public hearing and third reading of the FY2027 County Budget Ordinance. Council also scheduled a first reading of an ordinance to authorize a tax anticipation note, a short-term borrowing tool that would help cover cash flow needs before property tax revenue arrives. A discussion on the hospitality tax was also on the agenda.

Flood prevention rules

Council considered a second reading of a new Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance. The ordinance, if adopted, would update local regulations for construction and development in flood-prone areas.
