On Tuesday, October 1, County Commissioners signed the resolution to adopt fiscal year 2023-2024 budget amendments.
According to Park County Finance Director Erica Strickland, "Budget amendments may be submitted throughout the year. The Commission has requested that Finance runs budget amendments at the end of the fiscal year unless there’s a compelling reason to run one earlier. The main reason to hold budget amendments to the end of the year is due to cases where an additional cost does not cause expenditures to exceed budgeted appropriations so the amendment is unnecessary."
The resolution may be viewed here.
