Bannock County schedules department reviews and follow-ups ahead of levy deadline
Summary
Commissioners asked staff to circulate an electronic summary and scheduled department-head review sessions to allow departments time to raise concerns before the commission-proposed levy must be set and published for the August hearing.
After reviewing budget highlights, commissioners and staff agreed to several near-term steps to ensure departments can review the commission-proposed numbers before the public hearing.
Staff committed to provide an electronic copy of the budget packet and a condensed summary or table of contents to help commissioners and department heads quickly find department lines. Commissioners agreed to hold department-head review sessions (scheduled Tuesday afternoon or by appointment) and a follow-up commissioners' meeting the following Monday to finalize the commission-proposed numbers.
The clerk reminded the board that the commission-proposed package needs to be complete in early August to allow publication of the required public-hearing notices. Commissioners asked staff to hold open opportunities for departments to submit questions by email if they cannot attend the scheduled review slot.
