County staff outline $1.56M supplemental budget request; several items to be added to consent agenda
Summary
Budget Manager Sandra Montoya briefed the board on a supplemental budget request for FY 2025–26 totaling about $1.5M across five items, including SNAP support, a tax‑title settlement, a sheriff grant, pass‑through payments and increased technology contract costs.
Budget Manager Sandra Montoya presented a supplemental budget resolution for FY 2025–26 on Dec. 16, describing five items she said total roughly $1,500,000 and a net increase in appropriations the staff packet listed at $1,563,691. Montoya cited increases to general‑fund support for disaster management and tax‑title and land operations, $100,000 for SNAP support, approximately $460,000 for a tax‑title settlement, new revenues and spending authority for a sheriff’s grant (thermal camera equipment), recognition of pass‑through payments for public education and government, and increased beginning fund balances and operating expense authority in technology services to cover higher contract indexing (VMware and Microsoft).
Commissioners asked clarifying questions about how supplemental budgets work and Chair Roberts said the item will be added to the Dec. 18 business meeting consent agenda for final action. Commissioner Savas asked for clarity on the forecast and intended uses; Montoya and staff answered procedure and cost‑recognition questions.
Next steps: the supplemental budget resolution will be placed on the Dec. 18 consent agenda; staff will be available to answer detailed questions before that meeting.
