- A request for $775,000 capital outlay note for a justice center HVAC components and data servers.
- Increasing the county litigation tax by 2.7 percent. General sessions judges’ salaries are set by the state. This increase would allow the county to stay complainant with new salary for the general sessions of $202,420 for the 2026-27 fiscal year.
