Fremont County commissioners on June 10 adopted Resolution 2025-10, approving the county budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2026.

The resolution, introduced by the county budget officer and presented to the board, follows a public hearing held June 23 and public notices published in the Riverton Ranger and Wind River News. The board approved the budget after noting revisions made following the hearing. "Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Board of County Commissioners of Fremont County that the county budget as submitted with alterations and revisions as attached be adopted," a staff reading of the resolution said.

The appropriation resolution sets department spending limits for the year and directs that expenditures by officers or departments be limited to amounts appropriated. The board voted to approve the resolution by voice vote; the chair announced, "Motion passed." The resolution number provided in the meeting record is 2025-10.

Why it matters: the adoption makes the county's spending plan official for the coming fiscal year, sets legal limits on departmental expenditures and starts the fiscal year budget cycle on July 1. The board’s action also triggers the publication and posting requirements noted under state law.

Background and process details: the meeting record says the budget and a summary were published on June 14, 2025, and that the public hearing occurred on June 23. The resolution text refers to revisions made after that hearing and to the levy adopted June 24. The board instructed county officers to limit spending to appropriated amounts for the stated fiscal year.

Next steps: with adoption, the budget becomes the county’s guiding appropriation for 2025–26. Any material changes after adoption would require further board action.
