The Utah County Commission on December 10 approved a year-end amendment to the '25 budget that raises the county contribution to the capital improvements program (CIP) fund to $8,500,000 and includes several cleanup adjustments to time-limited and overtime budgets.

Jeremy Walker, the countychief financial officer, summarized the amendment as "a really minimal year end amendment this year," saying departments had accepted reductions to their time-limited and overtime budgets last year with the understanding funds would be available if needed. Walker recommended increasing the CIP contribution to $8,500,000 "to make sure that we're not just funding the immediate needs, but the medium term needs over the next 3 to 10 years." (Jeremy Walker, Chief Financial Officer.)

The amendment also includes unspecified cleanup items related to departmental budgets; Walker described the changes as technical adjustments rather than new ongoing programs. After Walker's presentation, an unidentified commissioner moved to approve the amendment and another unidentified commissioner seconded; the motion passed on a voice vote with multiple "aye" responses recorded. The transcript does not include a roll-call tally or individual recorded votes.

No members of the public addressed the commission during the public hearing on the amendment. The public hearing was opened and closed by motion earlier in the meeting; commissioners then voted to approve item 5 on the regular agenda. The transcript does not specify additional implementation steps or an effective date for the increased CIP contribution.

The commission then asked if anyone from the public wished to speak before a planned closed-session portion of the meeting; no public comments were offered.
