County schedules budget review for June 12; auditors may delay final numbers to July
Summary
Commissioners agreed to meet June 12 to review expenditure-side budget details and to reconvene July 9 after audited financial statements are available; staff warned audited year-end numbers are not yet finalized and recommended focusing the June meeting on expenses rather than final mill-levy decisions.
Commissioners discussed timing for the county budget schedule given pending audited year-end numbers. County staff reported the audit was not yet complete and that audited balances could change beginning balances used to set final levies.
Clerk and finance staff said the auditor recommended rescheduling final budget approval until audit results are available, but multiple commissioners favored meeting on June 12 to work through expenditures and avoid an oversized July meeting. The board tentatively set a two-step schedule: a working session on June 12 to review expenditures and a follow-up on July 9 after audited financials are returned to finalize mill levies and publish required notices.
Staff also reminded commissioners that publishing estimated tax notices and public hearings will require timing coordination with the state—s revenue-neutral-rate and statutory notice windows. Commissioners agreed to target June 12 for the expenditure review and July 9 for final adoption following audit completion.
