Brazos County Commissioners Resume Budget Talks Tuesday

BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - Discussions regarding the budget will proceed this week with Brazos County commissioners gathering on Tuesday afternoon for a workshop centered on staff benefits and pay.

The gathering starts at 2:00 PM inside the Brazos County Administrative Center.

The commissioners will listen to reports regarding the suggested fiscal year 2026 budget, with conversations focusing on insurance rates and payments, the county's pension scheme via the Texas County & District Retirement System (TCDRS), and possible increases for living expenses and performance-related salary changes.

Department supervisors and chosen representatives will also receive invitations to express worries or provide feedback on every topic.

Inflation effects and employee retention issues prompt county officials to review adjustments for living costs, performance bonuses, and policies related to raises as they prepare for the upcoming financial cycle.

There are no definitive choices anticipated during the session, although the conversation will aid in influencing upcoming financial voting processes over the next few months.
