County staff warns of budget amendment after unexpected revenue
Summary
A county staff member told commissioners a draft budget amendment will appear on May 21 because unanticipated revenue and previously approved IT expenditures require adjustments to the adopted budget.
A staff member (S2) advised the commissioners that the county is preparing a draft budget amendment to appear on the May 21 agenda after identifying revenue that was not included in the original adopted budget. "In the upcoming May for the 21st, we do have a budget amendment, a draft budget amendment coming before you," the staff member said, and added that unexpected revenue and an approved IT expenditure make the amendment necessary.
The staff member said the materials are in the packet for review and that the department is providing more detailed reports than in prior years so commissioners can drill into the underlying numbers. No dollar amounts were given in the meeting; staff said they will present the draft amendment and supporting detail at the May meeting so the board can consider formal action.
Why it matters: a budget amendment adjusts the county's adopted fiscal plan and may change appropriations. Commissioners were given advance notice and copies of the supporting reports to allow time for review prior to the May 21 meeting.
