What to Watch at the Meeting
The most concrete spending proposals on the agenda are the $5,000 pickleball court allocation and the two proposed county vehicles totaling $104,724. The Board is also expected to address the FY26 CASH Annual Financial Report and hear matters involving a Humeston property and tax sale, roadside tree overgrowth, and the county engineer's update.
