Staff asks commissioners to file budget changes one week before adoption
Summary
County staff requested commissioners present budget amendments or resolution language at least one week before the budget hearing so the entire commission can review proposed changes prior to adoption.
County staff told commissioners they will include budget discussion at each meeting between now and adoption and asked for guidance on rules of engagement. Staff requested that commissioners submit proposed changes in resolution form at least one week before the adoption hearing so all members can review potential changes in advance.
Commissioners discussed flexibility and the possibility of making a motion on adoption day if necessary, but staff emphasized that providing resolutions early allows for better review and transparency. The budget team said they will plan to circulate proposed changes at least a week before adoption to give commissioners time to evaluate the fiscal impacts.
