Grand County approves reallocation of Open Lands, Rivers and Trails administrative surplus

Finance Director Selena Bell asked the Board of County Commissioners to authorize the reallocation of administrative surpluses in the county's Open Lands, Rivers and Trails funds so more revenue is directed to trail maintenance, wildfire mitigation, and lands-and-rivers conservation. Bell said the funds were administrative fees that had accumulated and that the redistribution "won't affect the fund balance" because money would remain in the program but be moved into different program "buckets" to make it available for projects.
