The Utah County Commission voted to continue action on a proposal that would allocate $70,000 to fund a director of efficiency position, postponing the decision for one week.

Commissioner Garner said she was "good with everything except the 70,000 for director of efficiency," describing the concern as one of timing and preferring to consider the position in the regular future budget process. The presiding commissioner (identified in the transcript as K.) argued the county could find efficiencies now and use existing budget funds so the new position would not increase overall spending; K. said she would like the director to be hired for four additional months to assist with preparing the 2026 budget.

After discussion, Commissioner Garner moved to postpone the item for one week. The motion was seconded and passed by voice vote; the commission scheduled the item to be continued the following week.

No explicit amendment to the dollar amount or job description was recorded in the transcript. Commissioners did not specify where within the existing budget the $70,000 would be reallocated; staff were asked to return with additional information when the item is reconsidered.
