Summary

Tooele County readopted the 2026 budget (Resolution 2025-36) after a brief public hearing with no speakers; county manager Andy Welch said the readoption corrects clerical accounting entries (fund balance reporting, GIS line item, capital projects account, sheriff grant carryforward, and a Desert Peak debt typo) and adds an amended federal lobbyist contract.

Tooele County commissioners on Dec. 30 readopted the 2026 budget under Resolution 2025-36 after a staff explanation and a public hearing that produced no public comment. County Manager Andy Welch said the readoption corrects several bookkeeping and reporting items required for state reporting: it accounts for beginning and ending fund balances in each fund, fixes a GIS department line that had been referenced to an empty cell, corrects a capital projects account, carries forward revenue and expenditures related to a sheriff's mobile command center grant into the next fiscal year, and fixes a numerical typo for the Desert Peak debt amount. Welch also noted the contract with the county's federal lobbyists had an amendment and was included in the readopted budget.

The commission opened the required public hearing on the budget; no members of the public addressed the panel and the hearing was closed. A motion to approve Resolution 2025-36 was made and seconded; the commission voted to adopt the budget readoption unanimously.

The manager said these adjustments are primarily clerical and aimed at ensuring the county's budget documents match state reporting formats and reflect carryforwards and corrected account coding. The adopted resolution and the official budget documents will contain full line-item detail.
