Board adopts nearly $9.7 million budget carryforward for encumbered purchase orders
Summary
County staff explained a budget amendment totaling $9,694,673 to carry forward purchase orders from FY23 into FY24; commissioners held a public hearing with no speakers and unanimously approved the associated resolution and budget amendment.
At a public hearing county staff presented a budget amendment and resolution to carry forward purchase orders encumbered in fiscal year 2023 but not expended by 9/30/2023.
The staff presentation said the amendment, totaling $9,694,673, preserves open purchase orders and ensures those prior commitments post in FY24. The county administrator recommended approval. There were no public speakers; the board adopted Resolution 2024-54 and budget amendment BA24-31 unanimously.
Why it matters: Carryforward amendments are routine year-end accounting steps to preserve encumbered funds and avoid immediate budget changes; the action formalizes carryover so ongoing contracts and purchase orders can be completed.
The board approved both the resolution and the separate budget amendment to reflect the PO carryforward.
