OHV program fee revenue rises; CFO raises projection by about $130,000
Summary
The program’s CFO reported a 49% increase in fee revenue for the first half of the fiscal year and raised the revenue projection by roughly $130,000. Commissioners asked for original budget comparisons and confirmation of DMV transfers.
Heather Bugg, chief financial officer for the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, told the Commission on April 8 that fee revenue for the OHV program has increased about 49% in the first two fiscal quarters and that she increased the program's revenue projection by approximately $130,000.
Bugg presented a fiscal summary as of March 31, 2026, and said expenses remain stable. On the personnel line she said the current projection for remaining salary obligations through June is $61,287 and that about $158,301.50 has been spent to date. Bugg agreed to provide the original budgeted values in the next financial report and to include comparative columns and percent expended.
Commissioner questions focused on whether the commission had voted on the changed amount for the upcoming grant round and on the timing of transfers from DMV. Bugg said the program has received only the first and second quarter transfers and anticipates the third quarter transfer within weeks; she characterized her projections as conservative until those receipts arrive.
Bugg also confirmed she had provided the commission a packet describing cost allocations and said she would supply additional detail and the original budget lines requested by commissioners.
What happens next: staff will include original budgeted values and a percent‑expended comparison in the next published financial summary, and will follow up with commissioners on the DMV transfer schedule.
