Summary
At a public hearing the Utah County Commission considered midyear adjustments to the 2025 budget, shifting dollars between funds after softer-than-expected sales-tax receipts and internal service fund changes; no net increase to the budget was proposed and no members of the public commented.
The Utah County Commission met in public hearing to consider proposed midyear amendments to the 2025 budget that move dollars between funds but do not increase total spending.
A county finance staff member told commissioners the midyear reset follows receipt of property- and sales-tax collections for much of the year. “We have seen some softening in sales tax revenue, which is not a total surprise,” the staff member said, and recommended adjustments to internal service fund estimates, transfers from restricted sources to pay for completed capital improvement program projects, and changes to internal service methodologies following audit discussions. “So overall, there's no increase to the budget. It's just moving dollars between different funds,” the staff member said.
Commissioners asked no substantive follow-up questions, and no members of the public offered comment. Commissioner Garner moved to close public comment; the motion was seconded and the commission voted in favor. The commission did not adopt any change that would increase overall budget authority during the hearing.
The county indicated changes reflect updated revenue forecasts and internal accounting adjustments; staff did not specify dollar totals for the sales-tax revision or for the transfers during the hearing. The next formal actions on specific fund transfers or ordinance amendments were not specified in the hearing record.
The public hearing then concluded and the commission returned to its regular agenda.
