Moffat County commissioners approve July 2025 supplemental budget after public hearing
Summary
The Moffat County Board of County Commissioners approved Resolution 2025-69 to adopt a July 2025 supplemental budget after a public hearing that outlined transfers, unexpected revenues and unchanged contingency and reserve levels.
The Moffat County Board of County Commissioners on July 22 approved Resolution 2025-69 adopting a July 2025 supplemental budget following a public hearing and presentation by the county finance director.
Finance Director Kathy Nielsen told the board the supplemental package included unexpected revenues, internal transfers and a request for increased spending authority for the jail. Nielsen said unexpected revenues totaled about $309,556 from sources including the sale of county property, reimbursements from an oil company and state fire relief, and other departments; transfers proposed were about $160,933 to move funds among capital and equipment accounts; and an increase in spending authority of $60,100 was requested for the jail budget. Nielsen said contingency and the county's emergency reserve would not change as a result of the supplemental.
The proposal was opened for public comment; no members of the public testified. After discussion, a commissioner moved to approve Resolution 2025-69. The motion was seconded, commissioners voted "Aye," and the chair declared the motion carried.
Nielsen described several item-level changes during her presentation: a reallocation from equipment/vehicle budgets to fairgrounds building repairs after a lease decision, transfers for parks and capital improvements, $175,538.50 in unexpected revenue from the sale of county property to be used for future capital projects, reimbursement of $60,720 from an oil company for mag chloride treatment, and smaller unexpected grants or reimbursements to fire control, road and bridge, public health and other departments. She also noted a downward supplemental of $7,089.82 in one account and said the county's contingency balance and emergency reserve remained intact.
No legal or procedural obstacles were raised at the hearing. The board declined additional public testimony, closed the hearing and voted to adopt the supplemental budget.
The board scheduled its next regular meeting for Tuesday, Aug. 12, at 8:30 a.m. in Craig.
