Commissioners adopt 2025 budget amendment and accept December financial reports
Summary
The San Juan County Board adopted an amendment to the 2025 budget (resolution referenced orally) to correct appropriations in social services and Road and Bridge funds, and accepted the December and year-end financial reports; commissioners asked for follow-up clarification on a $55,000 public-health line item.
San Juan County commissioners approved an amendment to the 2025 budget and accepted December financial statements following discussion of line-item variances and several program needs.
The board reviewed proposed adjustments to three funds where expenditures exceeded original appropriations, including increases tied to social services (adult protection and childcare line items) and Road and Bridge escrow/repair costs. Speaker 5 explained the amendments were intended to fix appropriation errors and to cover escrowed equipment payments. The board moved to adopt the budget amendment (referred to in discussion as Resolution 2025-09) and approved it by voice vote.
Commissioners also examined the San Juan Public Health request appearing as a $55,000 line item for operations and personnel. Speaker 2 asked staff to confirm prior assurances that part of the request would be covered by grant funding before fully committing county funds; the board agreed to seek clarification from health department contacts (Becky and Dave) before final appropriation.
Treasurer/finance staff presented December and year-end (2025) reports with green/red coding of revenue and expenditures. Lodging tax trended below budget and miscellaneous items were reviewed; Speaker 3 moved to accept the December financial report and the motion passed by voice.
The board also authorized several letters of support (Town of Silverton CDOT request and an MSOB grant application from the San Juan Development Association) and confirmed routine appointments and outreach for remaining vacancies.
Next steps: staff will provide the requested grant documentation for the San Juan Public Health line item and continue to reconcile detailed line items for public review.
