Carbon County commissioners adopt 2024–2025 budget amendment to account for unbudgeted grants

The Carbon County Board of Commissioners on July 31, 2025, approved Resolution 2025-22 to adopt a fiscal year 2024–2025 budget amendment that Administrative Officer Angela Newell said accounts for several grants that had not previously been budgeted and for expenditures that were omitted or under-budgeted.

Presiding Officer Scott Blain and Commissioners Scott Miller and Bill Bullock were present. Commissioner Bill Bullock moved to open the public hearing on the amendment; Commissioner Scott Miller seconded. After the hearing, Miller moved to close it; Bullock seconded. Bullock then moved to approve Resolution 2025-22, and Miller seconded. The minutes state the motion "carried" but do not include a roll-call tally or individual votes.

Treasurer Leah Niemi joined the meeting and presented the Treasurer's Office Quarterly Collateral Report as of June 30, 2025. Commissioner Bill Bullock moved to approve the collateral report and Commissioner Scott Miller seconded; the motion carried. The record lists approval but does not specify vote counts.

The minutes indicate the budget amendment covers "several grants" but do not specify the grant programs or dollar amounts. The board also approved routine consent items later in the agenda, including a $10,750 purchase request to install a new culvert, a $2,050 request to remove a segmented circle, and a corrected cash amount for the County Treasurer's Office of $2,732.74. Those consent items were approved by motion (moved by Bill Bullock; seconded by Scott Miller); individual vote tallies are not recorded in the minutes.

Next steps: the minutes do not record further procedural deadlines or dates for publishing the amended budget; the board adjourned at 11:30 a.m.
