Klamath County previews ClearGov portal, plans digital budget book by April 10
Summary
County finance staff demonstrated the ClearGov budget portal and the county's budget book layout, highlighting drilldowns by fund and department and citing fund totals (e.g., a fund total shown as 35,000,400 and a cited sheriff special revenue transfer of $530,000).
At the Klamath County finance meeting on March 25, Chair Kelly McNulty and finance staff demonstrated the county's ClearGov budget portal and previewed the digital budget book that will be posted on the county website.
McNulty walked committee members through how the portal displays funds and departments on the left navigation, allowing users to drill into fund details down to line‑item expenses. She said the portal will show several years of figures (actuals for 2024 and 2025, adopted 2026, and requested 2027) and that the county expects to publish the digital budget book by April 10. Invitations to join ClearGov will be emailed to committee members in advance.
Using a sample department report, staff pointed to specific figures including a fund total cited in the demonstration as 35,000,400 for revenues and expenses and a sheriff's special revenue transfer listed as $530,000. The demonstration also showed a revenue total in a sample report of $5,304,002.75 (figure taken from presentation). Staff said the budget book will include narratives for departments (for example, an assessor narrative describing priorities and appropriations), FTE trends and charts, and line‑item breakdowns for major functions such as snow removal, signs, paint and chip seal work.
McNulty encouraged committee members to review the binders and portal ahead of the public hearings and to prepare questions on areas of interest.
