Mandy Kim presented a memorandum detailing the errors in the advertised budget and listing the
options for the Commissioners to consider. The BOCC has 3 options to consider:
• Approve the budget extensions as presented.
Caitlin discussed the overage that Tourism had on expenses and errors that were in the spreadsheets.
Discussion was held about where the funds for the budget extension would come from. Mandy stated
that Tourism has an Ending Fund Balance that can cover this overage.
Commissioner Carter stated she will not be voting in favor of approving funds outside of the advertised
amount.
Commissioner Stone is in favor of approving the recommendation of the Auditor, Treasurer and Chief
Financial Officer, acknowledging mistakes that were made, being transparent with the errors and
approving another amount.
Mandy feels comfortable with a good faith estimate, to be approved today.
A motion was made by Commissioner Jones, seconded by Commissioner Stone, to close the public
comment portion of the hearing. The motion passed unanimously.
A motion was made by Commissioner Stone to approve the budget extension total of $3,.840.,700.00.,
which is not accurate to the number advertise at $4,.282.,000.00. Mandy stated that there was an error
on the form. Commissioner Stone rescinded his motion, due to the incorrect number being stated.
There was an additional $20,,000.00 for Tourism, and $2.,700.00 for Law and Justice, so public comment
was reopened.
A motion was made by Commissioner Jones, seconded by Commissioner Stone, to close the public
comment portion of the hearing. Commissioner Carter noted that the public comment portion was
reopened due to the additional funds listed. The motion passed unanimously.
A motion was made by Commissioner Stone to approve a final extension amount for the County of
$3,863,400.00 as compared to the published amount of $4,282,000.00. Commissioner Jones seconded.
Discussion was held about the budget extension amount being less than was advertised. Commissioner
Stone reviewed'the differences between the approved final extension amount and the advertised
numbers.
The motion passed with Commissioners Stone and Jones voting in favor, and Commissioner Carter
voting against. The hearing adjourned. (Resolution No. 24-137-CC)
