Commissioners question $210,000 Mason Dam line item; staff to consider moving funds back to general fund
Summary
Commissioners asked county staff whether a longstanding $210,000 Mason Dam project line should remain in the budget after staff reported permits appear expired and the project is unlikely in the near term.
A $210,000 line item for a Mason Dam project in the county budget drew questions from commissioners Thursday.
A commissioner summarized past work on the project and reported staff told them permits have lapsed and that the county had been advised to "quit working on it" pending resolution. The commissioner asked whether the appropriation should be returned to the general fund if the county does not foresee advancing the project in the near future.
County staff said they would discuss the item with budget staff and recommended moving the line back into general contingency for the upcoming budget if the county will not pursue engineering and permitting in the short term.
No formal vote was taken at the meeting; staff said they would address the matter during the county budget process.
