The Sangamon County Board approved a fiscal year 2027 budget totaling more than $206 million on Tuesday night.
The total budget is $10.5 million, or 4.9 percent, lower than the fiscal year 2026 budget, although the general operating fund of $72.3 million is 7.3 percent, or nearly $5 million, higher than the current year.
County Administrator Brian McFadden said the county will be able to add to its reserves with higher-than-anticipated revenue although expenses are also higher.
The board meets in special session next Tuesday at 5 p.m.
