Commissioners require capital requests over $5,000 be presented at budget hearings
Summary
Motion 181-2026, adopted July 7, 2026, requires any requested capital expenditure exceeding $5,000 to be presented at the Budget Hearing cycle in order to be considered; motion carried.
On July 7 the board adopted Motion 181-2026 to set a $5,000 threshold for capital expenditure requests: any capital request greater than $5,000 must be presented at the Budget Hearing cycle meetings to be considered.
The motion was recorded as moved by Commissioner Bryan Zender and supported by Commissioner Scott McMahan, and the minutes state that the motion "carried." The threshold is intended to ensure that significant capital spending requests are vetted during the formal budget process rather than presented ad hoc during the year. Departments seeking capital expenditures should plan to present requests during the budget cycle in order to have them considered.
