Commission discusses rolling over unspent 2024 sewer funds to finish projects
Summary
Commissioners discussed rolling over unspent sewer appropriations from 2024 to complete small sewer projects, citing slow contractor responses; staff will record a budget change in Kissflow for review.
Weber County commissioners discussed rolling over unspent sewer-system appropriations from 2024 to cover small projects that could not be completed because contractors were slow to respond.
Commissioner Jim Harvey said the county had difficulty finding contractors and that one bid he received was "under $10,000." He told the commission the funds are restricted to sewer-system use and "were appropriated in 2024. We didn't spend it. It can't be used for anything else." Harvey also referenced other rollover items, saying there were items "that was gonna be rolled over" though he did not provide a full, auditable list during the discussion.
Staff described the rollover as a budget change that will be entered into the county’s workflow system. "I'll enter it as a budget change in Kissflow so you guys can see that today in your...," a staff member said. The transcript records no formal roll-call vote approving the rollover during this discussion; the exchange concluded with staff direction to record the change for commissioners to review.
Commissioners emphasized that each fund balance is specific to the sewer system, limiting how the money can be used. The commission moved on after asking staff to post the budget change for review.
