The Elko County Board of Fire Commissioners voted to approve a resolution augmenting the Elko County Fire Protection District General Fund by $200,000 for fiscal year 2024–25.

The augmentation was explained as coming from unbudgeted revenues — described in the meeting as "NDF reimbursements and NV Energy admin fees" — and intended to offset additional operating and salary costs. Susan, a fire district staff member, summarized the source and purpose: "Yes. The fire district has received more money than was budgeted, NDF reimbursements and NV Energy admin fees, which make up the $200 that will go to offset additional costs in the operating, salaries." The board chair moved to approve the augmentation; a second was recorded and the motion carried after an affirmative voice vote.

The item was presented during the meeting as a non-controversial budget housekeeping action. There were no public comments and no board discussion recorded in the transcript before the vote. The meeting record notes the motion carried; the transcript does not specify individual vote counts or the name of the member who seconded the motion.

The augmentation will be reflected in the Elko County Fire Protection District General Fund for fiscal year 2024–25 to cover the operating and personnel expenditures identified by staff. The transcript did not provide additional line-item detail, future budget projections, or implementation steps beyond the approval.

Meeting context: the matter was taken up as a noticed agenda item and passed on voice vote. No public commenters spoke on the augmentation, and the transcript records no dissenting board comments.
