## Summary

The Buncombe County Board of Commissioners will meet on May 5, 2026, to address a range of topics impacting the community. A significant portion of the meeting will be dedicated to budget discussions, including a review and potential approval of the County Manager’s recommended FY2027 budget. Commissioners will also consider several proposed adjustments to that budget, particularly concerning recycling infrastructure and health funds. Beyond the budget, a key decision involves a vote on revisions to the Farmland Preservation Ordinance, which could affect agricultural practices and land use in Buncombe County.

Several routine approvals are on the agenda, including contracts for parking lot improvements and kitchen renovations at Asheville High School. The Board will also recognize important months with proclamations, such as Nurses Week and Wildfire Preparedness Month. Finally, the Board will be voting on a resolution supporting protections for roadless areas within Buncombe County. Interested residents are encouraged to attend the meeting or view it online, as public comment is welcome at the beginning of the session.
