The Floyd County Commission is expected to adopt the fiscal year 2026 budget on Tuesday.
The $81 million budget, which can be viewed on our website, is slated for a vote during the commission’s regular meeting, which begins at 6 p.m.
During the caucus, which begins at 3:30 p.m., the commission will finalize the budget and go into an executive session to discuss property acquisition, litigation, and personnel.
Other agenda items for Tuesday’s regular meeting include the adoption of the 2025 fee schedule and a resolution requesting a change of the hotel-motel tax statute, and an increase from 6 percent to 8 percent, in addition to redirecting funds from the Forum River Center to the Agriculture Center.
Commissioners will also consider a request from Purchasing to approve awarding the Exterior Renovations of the Floyd County Historic Courthouse to Midwest Maintenance, Inc. for $474,300.00 using 2017 SPLOST Funds.
This amount includes $50,000 additional in case there are change orders. The vendor supplied a responsive and responsible bid with the second-lowest pricing. Midwest Maintenance, Inc. provided details in its proposal that were in the best interest of Floyd County for this project.
