McDonald County commissioners review 2024 budget requests; meetings to continue Jan. 4
Summary
McDonald County commissioners met Jan. 3 to begin reviewing 2024 budget requests from a range of county offices and department supervisors and scheduled continuation of hearings for Jan. 4. No formal votes on budgets are recorded in the minutes.
McDonald County commissioners met Jan. 3, 2024, to hear initial budget requests from a series of county officeholders and department supervisors and agreed to continue the hearings the following day.
The minutes list Presiding Commissioner Bryan Hall, Eastern Commissioner Jamey Cope, Western Commissioner Rick Lett and County Clerk Kimberly Bell as present. The commission met with the following officeholders and department supervisors about their 2024 budget requests: Public Administrator Tonya Garvin; Circuit Clerk Tanya Lewis; Assessor Sue Ann Stokes; Litter Control supervisor Dane Paulson; Prosecuting Attorney Maleia Cheney; Sheriff Robert Evenson; Health Director Mike Hall; and Emergency Management Director Gregg Sweeten. The record states that meetings will continue Jan. 4 to hear remaining offices and departments.
The minutes do not record any formal motions or votes on budget items during the Jan. 3 session; they note only that the commission “conducted general business of the County” and adjourned to reconvene Jan. 4. The document was signed and approved and filed in the county minutes (Book PP, page 421).
Because the minutes are a brief record rather than a verbatim transcript, they do not include quotes or detailed budget figures. The commission scheduled follow-up sessions to continue departmental budget presentations and deliberations on Jan. 4, 2024.
