Board of County Commissioners — January 21, 2026
The county is moving forward with placing three major tax levies on the May primary ballot for developmental disabilities, children's services, and senior services. Commissioners debated whether to ask voters for an increase in children's services funding to keep up with skyrocketing foster care costs, eventually deciding to certify both renewal and renewal-plus-increase options.
