Commissioners set follow-up budget workshops and plan to shift general-counsel position to county payroll
Summary
The court scheduled additional budget workshops next week to finalize numbers before the tax-rate hearing and agreed to transfer a general-counsel-style position (Tony Acosta) into a county department for budgeting and oversight.
The chair told commissioners he would consolidate changes discussed during the workshop and present updated budget numbers at follow-up sessions next week to prepare for the public hearing on the tax rate. He proposed transferring the general-counsel-like position (Tony Acosta) into a county department and asked where commissioners preferred to place the role; the court favored making it a department-level position so the position and budget live within county administration.
The court scheduled additional workshops (targeting the coming week) and asked each elected official to meet individually with budget staff to refine beginning cash balances and confirm requested positions. Commissioners emphasized the need to complete departmental reviews before the tax-rate public hearing so the county can present accurate budget alternatives.
