APC approves 2027 proposed budget after questions about unsafe‑building fund
Summary
The commission approved a proposed 2027 general fund budget (staff said the proposed total is roughly $5,000 lower than 2026 after personnel adjustments), discussed the separate $200,000 unsafe‑building fund and the use of a $55,000 annual general fund allocation for demo/cleanup, and asked staff for accounting clarifications.
Commissioners reviewed a proposed 2027 budget prepared by staff and heard questions about personnel changes, supplies, and an apparent discrepancy in unsafe‑building expenditure reporting. Staff said the proposed budget reduces the overall request by roughly $5,000 compared with 2026 while proposing modest staff salary increases and eliminating a part‑time position. Staff also said the unsafe‑building fund is separate ($200,000) and that the council also budgets $55,000 of general‑fund money annually to be used for unsafe‑building work.
After discussion about how demolition and unsafe‑building expenditures appear in the general fund versus a separate fund, a motion to approve the proposed budget was made and seconded. The commission took a vocal roll call and chair declared the motion passed after a majority vote with at least one opposing vote recorded; the approved budget will be advanced to the county council as required.
