Court recesses; staff to reprint revised budget and reconvene at 1 p.m.
Summary
After agreeing to model a budget with specified capital pull-outs and updated ambulance fund-balance assumptions, commissioners recessed and asked staff to reprint the revised budget for a 1 p.m. reconvening; one commissioner must leave early.
After a morning of detailed line-item discussion and modeling directions, the court agreed on a short list of changes for staff to implement during the recess: remove several capital improvement line items from the revenue budget (building maintenance $250,000; fairgrounds $458,000), reduce contingency ($420,000) and lower road & bridge machinery/equipment by $200,000 for modeling purposes. The court also instructed staff to increase the budgeted fund-balance use for ambulance procurement to reflect two units (~$890,000) when modeling worst-case scenarios.
"So we're gonna go back, make those changes. That's what we're gonna be working off of," staff told the court. The court recessed and scheduled a reconvening at 1:00 p.m. for staff to present the updated, printed budget packet.
