The Coos County Board of Commissioners voted to adopt a supplemental budget to adjust fund balances and make targeted appropriations. County finance staff said the changes were needed after new information on carryover levels and recently received grant funds.
Megan, a county finance staff member, told commissioners the general fund required a reduction in the veterans department budget because the carryover was lower than anticipated and that the county expected to receive $70,000 from a Marijuana Enforcement Grant that could not be added between the original budget approval and adoption. She also said returned funds from the Salvation Army required accounting in the Administrative Grant Fund and that the beginning balance in the waste disposal fund needed adjustment because the pit‑roof project did not progress as expected at the end of fiscal year 25.
“...the beginning balance needed to be adjusted in the waste disposal fund because the pit roof project did not get as far as expected at the end of fiscal year 25,” Megan said, explaining why the supplemental changes were necessary.
With no public comment offered during the hearing, Commissioner (unnamed) moved to adopt "resolution 20 five-eleven-217B adopting the supplemental budget and making appropriations," and the motion passed on a voice vote. Chair closed the hearing after commissioners expressed appreciation for the concise explanation from finance staff.
The resolution transfers and recognizes grant revenue and adjusts beginning balances; board materials list the specific funds affected but do not enumerate every line item in the body of the meeting record. The action was procedural: the board adopted the adjustment and authorized staff to implement the appropriations. The county did not record a roll‑call tally in the minutes provided; actions were recorded as passed by voice vote.
Next steps: staff will implement the approved appropriation changes and incorporate them into the county’s accounting records. Any further budget adjustments will follow standard public‑hearing and adoption procedures.
