Board approves $25,501 transfer from community initiatives to District 5 operations after public debate
Summary
The Coconino County Board of Supervisors approved a $25,501 budget amendment moving funds from a District 5 community initiatives account into the district’s operations/travel line after a lengthy public discussion and one dissenting vote.
The Coconino County Board of Supervisors on April 1 approved a budget amendment transferring $25,501 from District 5’s community initiatives account to its operations/travel budget to cover expenses already incurred.
The amendment drew extended questioning from Supervisor Tammy Ontiveros, who repeatedly pressed staff and counsel about policy and precedent. “To me, it doesn’t pass the sniff test,” Ontiveros said, adding that the board has a duty to be “good stewards of taxpayer dollars.” Ontiveros said she would not support the transfer because, she said, the operation line had been overspent and funds originally appropriated for community initiatives had been used instead.
