Lieberman also presented her FY26 Budget Message.
Budget message recommendations include:
- Responsible budgeting in uncertain financial times
- A focus on core services
- A reduced millage rate for the ninth consecutive year.
- $239 million invested in public safety (law enforcement and fire rescue).
- $104 million to improve and maintain county roads and bridges.
- Addressing the county’s critical building needs (including building a new animal shelter, civil courthouse, and moving Fire Rescue and Emergency Operations).
“The FY26 tentative budget upholds our long-standing standards of fiscal discipline by delivering a balanced budget with a lowered tax burden,” Lieberman said. “It is a blueprint for responsible governance that meets today’s realities while safeguarding tomorrow’s promise.”
