Below you can find today's budget working session - thank you to all who are taking an interest! We want to reiterate that this is the first of many work sessions & discussions so the commission can ask questions, gather info, exchange ideas & work hard to create a budget that is fiscally responsible, while still providing the best services that we can. This is the fact-finding stage - options for cost savings will be discussed in the coming weeks so we appreciate everyone's patience.

🎬❗REMINDER: Tomorrow & Friday from 9 - 11 AM our budget working sessions will be live streamed. They will also be posted after so that people can watch as their schedules allow. You can find the link to watch on You Tube by searching “Russell County Area Civic Stream” or you can visit this link directly: https://www.youtube.com/

These are informal sessions so the commission can review 2027 budget requests from staff & external entities. Dept. heads for the larger budgets will be presenting requests & answering questions. This is just the first step in our budget process - think of it as the "fact gathering stage" so no decisions will be made. Thank you for your interest!🎥
