Bannock County commissioners hold final budget review before Monday vote
Summary
Commissioners met for a final budget session to consider last-minute department requests, including juvenile probation pay, jail fuel needs, landfill fees and a trust adjustment; staff will circulate a final funding packet by Friday ahead of Monday’s approval meeting.
The Chair opened a brief session to finish the county's budget work and asked staff to report any department changes submitted in the previous 24 hours. Clerk presented the updates and the board discussed several targeted line‑item changes, with final approval scheduled for the board's meeting on Monday.
Clerk summarized department requests that would not substantially change overall funding but would reallocate existing allocations to reflect restructures and operational needs. “The on call pay, that went up $1,112,” the Clerk said, and staff proposed shifting small amounts between accounts to cover pressing needs without increasing the total budget. The board directed staff to prepare a final funding document and attempt to send it by Friday for commissioners to review before the Monday meeting.
