The Allegany Budget Committee meeting held on February 19, 2025, focused on key financial updates and discussions regarding employee health plans. The meeting commenced with a roll call, confirming the presence of four members, while three were absent.

County Treasurer Terry Ross presented a positive sales tax report, indicating an increase of approximately $245,000 compared to the previous year, marking a rise of nearly 8%. This news was well-received by the committee, highlighting a favorable financial trend for the county.

During the meeting, a member raised a question regarding the county's health insurance plans, specifically the absence of a two-person plan option. The inquiry suggested that many employees might benefit from such a plan, and it was agreed that the matter would be referred to the Human Resources department for further exploration.

The meeting concluded with no additional unfinished or new business, and a motion to adjourn was passed unanimously. Overall, the discussions underscored a positive financial outlook for Allegany County, alongside a commitment to reviewing employee benefits.
