With the end of fiscal year this weekend, members of the Cannon County Commission met Friday evening to clear up issues with this year’s budget.  Eight of the ten commissioners were present and the meeting for the most part was free of contested discussion over items on the agenda.  Commissioners accepted all of the budget amendments that were previously approved by the budget committee. This left only four department budget items for review, and they were approved by all commissioners.

Members agreed that the Financial Management Committee scheduled for this weekend should be postponed, due to the fact one of the members was recovering from surgery.

Next meeting for the Cannon County Commission is scheduled for Saturday, July 13^th.
