Staff: preliminary figures are estimates; ARPA funds and grants affect Dolores County forecast
Summary
County staff told the board that the budget packet contains estimated figures, noted ARPA funds were part of prior-year numbers, and pointed to incoming grants and uncertain legislative outcomes that could alter the forecast.
County staff told the board the spreadsheet in the packet should be treated as a working estimate rather than final numbers. "Now keep in mind what you're looking at, Eric, is the ex the estimated, not the actuals," the staff member said, adding that the county expects several grants in 2025 and that ARPA funds were included in the 2024 figures referenced.
Board members and staff discussed how intergovernmental revenue timing and pending legislative activity could change the final totals. Staff suggested the figures will be updated as actual receipts are recorded and recommended continued review in the upcoming workshop so the board can refine departmental allocations.
