Dallas County Conservation Board flags year‑end budget pressure on several fund lines

Director Curt Cable reviewed budget lines at the end of March and told the board April 14 that several funds are likely to be tight before the fiscal year closes. He said interpretive and water‑quality items and Wilderness Trek purchases still need to be completed and are likely to cause the department to seek budget amendments. The custodial supplies line is overbudget for the year though major purchases are complete, electrical costs will be close to budget, and vehicle equipment repairs have required significant expense for mowers and tractors.
