Moffat County approves December 2024 supplemental budget with $10.84 million in adjustments
Summary
Following a public hearing with no public testimony, the board approved a December 2024 supplemental budget that recognizes $7.35 million in unexpected revenue, rolls over $1.68 million in capital funds, and includes multiple transfers across departments.
Moffat County commissioners adopted a December 2024 supplemental budget Dec. 31 that adjusts revenue recognitions, transfers and spending authority across county departments, with total adjustments of $10,839,334.43.
The board opened a public hearing on the supplemental budget; the hearing notice had been posted in the legal section of the Craig Press and on the county website. Kathy Nelson, identified in the meeting as Moffat County financial director, presented the proposed supplementals and detailed multiple transfers and revenue recognitions across departments. Nelson summarized the package as including $7,354,493.46 in unexpected revenue recognitions, $690,364.41 in transfers, $248,796.33 in increased spending authority for a fairgrounds improvement project, a $1,684,424.61 rollover of unused USDA funds for courthouse work, and $861,255.62 in downward adjustments, for total adjustments of $10,839,334.43.
Major items Nelson flagged included $5,067,730.44 of unexpected airport revenue from the Federal Aviation Administration and the Colorado Department of Transportation to be used for the Airport Improvement Project; $677,316.18 in severance-tax revenue the finance office proposed to use in part for employee bonuses; and $213,678.02 in employee contributions recognized for the health and welfare insurance fund. Other departmental recognitions and transfers covered elections, clerk and recorder technology funds, sheriff’s camera funding from the City of Craig, emergency 911 grant funds, public health funding from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), and multiple smaller departmental adjustments.
Nelson noted department-specific transfers and program transfers (for example, intra-department transfers in Clerk and Recorder and Human Services), and explained the package included many items under $10,000 that she did not read aloud in full. No members of the public offered testimony during the hearing, and the board returned to regular session.
A motion to approve the supplemental budget was made, seconded and carried.
The approved supplementals authorize county staff to reallocate the listed revenues and implement the changes; county staff indicated some items (for example, FAA reimbursements and grant rollovers) depend on outside agency actions or prior-year accounting.
