Commissioners reminded of May 15 cutoff and amendment path for county budget
Summary
A commissioner told the board that changes to the budget between May 15 and June 15 must be made by formal amendment and that the published proposed budget leads to a public hearing and adoption; agencies cannot revise their requests after May 15 without an amendment.
A commissioner reminded the board May 26 that the county budget timeline limits agency changes: any changes after May 15 must come through a formal board amendment.
"Between May 15 and June 15, where any changes to the budget, has to take place through an amendment, a motion by the board to amend the requested budget," the commissioner said, explaining that the sequence is amendment → proposed budget → public hearing → adoption. He emphasized agencies cannot amend their requests after May 15 unless the board adopts a formal amendment.
The reminder was presented as procedural guidance during the board's staff-and-elected reports and was given as context for ongoing budget hearings; no amendment motion was made during the meeting.
