Minutes
The Taylor County Board of County Commissioners met on May 26, 2026, to discuss the Sheriff's Department budget. The Sheriff's Department requested $9.2 million plus $300,000 for capital outlay for the upcoming year, and appealed for their entire requested budget. The Board initially asked all departments to reduce their budgets, but the Sheriff's Department requested an increase. The Appeals Panel recommended the Board and Sheriff's Department try to reach an agreement. Commissioner English recommended offering $200,000 from the General Fund plus an additional $300,000 for capital outlay, totaling $500,000. Commissioner Feagle stood by her original decision, noting that everyone else made budget cuts. The motion to allocate $500,000 ($200,000 from General Fund and $300,000 from Small County Surtax) passed by a 4-1 vote, with Commissioner Feagle voting no. The total allocated is still $100,000 less than the previous year's $700,000. Public comment was not provided for non-agenda items.
