Supervisors approve updated capital-assets thresholds and fixed-asset tracking limits
Summary
The board approved raising capital-asset thresholds to align with auditor guidance: infrastructure to $100,000, land/buildings to $50,000, equipment/vehicles to $10,000, and increased fixed-asset tracking threshold from $1,000 to $3,000.
County staff proposed and the board approved revisions to the county's capital assets policy and fixed-asset requirements.
Chris explained that auditors recommended raising thresholds to match peer counties: infrastructure from $50,000 to $100,000; land and buildings from $25,000 to $50,000; equipment and vehicles from $5,000 to $10,000; and lease assets to $50,000. Staff also proposed raising the fixed-asset tracking sheet requirement from purchases over $1,000 to purchases of $3,000 or more to better align tracking with insurance and practical needs. A motion to adopt the updated policy and resolution carried unanimously.
Officials said the changes reflect inflation and standard practice across counties and are intended to reduce administrative burden while keeping insurance and audit needs met.
