Skamania County commissioners adopt supplemental 2025 budget resolution after public hearing with no testimony

The Skamania County Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution 2025-04, Supplemental Budget No. 1 for the 2025 fiscal year after a public hearing that yielded no oral or written testimony. Chair (Speaker 1) opened the hearing and invited public comment; none was offered in the chamber or online.

County staff provided a written report and attachments in advance and answered commissioners’ questions. County staff (Speaker 2) said the packet included two attachments and that the explanations were "pretty thorough." No members of the public spoke and no written public testimony was received, Chair (Speaker 1) said: "Public testimony period is now closed. No further testimony would be accepted."

Commissioner (Speaker 4) moved to adopt Resolution 2025-04; Commissioner (Speaker 5) seconded. The chair called for a voice vote; all commissioners present responded "aye" and the chair declared, "Ayes have it. Motion carries." The motion carried and the hearing concluded.

The adopted resolution was described in the hearing as a supplemental budget for various funds for the 2025 fiscal year. The staff report and attachments were filed with the clerk; the transcript records that staff had provided commissioners with the document in advance and that no follow-up questions were raised at the hearing.

No further details about specific fund amounts, fund names, or effective dates were given during the hearing and are therefore not specified in this report. The board did not receive or accept written public testimony for the supplemental budget at the hearing.
