Board approves $32.7 million supplemental amendment to Douglas County 2025 budget
Summary
Douglas County commissioners approved a supplemental budget resolution to recognize $32,692,346 in new revenues, carry forward unspent project dollars, and appropriate spending authority across 10 funds for fiscal year 2025.
The Douglas County Board of County Commissioners on April 22 approved a supplemental resolution to amend the 2025 adopted budget and recognize $32,692,346 in new revenues, carry forward unspent project dollars, and provide spending authority for new initiatives.
Kim Hirsch of budget staff presented the second supplemental for fiscal 2025 and said the request affects 10 county funds. “The total amount of the request for your consideration today is $32,692,346,” Hirsch told the board during her presentation.
Nut graf: The supplemental increases the county’s amended 2025 budget to $657,895,721 and moves funds for reimbursable grants, carryforward projects, and new initiatives into current-year appropriations so the county may legally spend newly received revenues.
Details discussed Hirsch told commissioners the supplemental includes both newly received revenues that must be appropriated before spending and carryforward project balances from multi-year grants and capital projects. She noted, for example, that certain law-enforcement-authority funds and district attorney vehicle-leasing expenses require transfers and appropriations to reflect actual funding and planned expenditures. Hirsch said some items draw on prior fund balance where appropriate and that staff provided line-by-line detail in the board packet.
Board action After brief questions from commissioners about fund flow and timing, the board approved the resolution by unanimous vote.
Why it matters The supplemental is an accounting step required under government finance rules: newly received revenues must be recognized and appropriated before spending. The amendment enables the county to carry forward multi-year project dollars and to begin planned purchases and grant-funded work in fiscal 2025.
Next steps Budget staff will execute the transfers and monitor spending; staff noted detailed fund summaries and backups are included in the board packet for audit and public record.
