Requested Action:
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the following revisions to Policy BCC-43, Commission District Office Annual Budget.
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
This policy revision was originally proposed on July 8, 2025, and is being re-presented to incorporate commissioner feedback. The quarterly budget reporting was removed and the reference to out of state travel was removed due to travel requirements being addressed in other policies.
Proposed changes:
• Update Commission District Office Annual Budget Amounts from FY2021-2022 to FY2024-2025:
This policy was scheduled for a 3-year review on October 12, 2024. The proposed policy revision updates from FY2021-2022 to FY2024-2025 Commission Office annual budget amount per office.
• Clarification of Facilities Funding and Approval for Commission Office Capital Improvements:
The proposed policy revision clarifies that Facilities will provide a written estimate of anticipated expenses and obtain written approval from the requesting commissioner for commission office-specific capital improvement or renovation projects prior to proceeding with the work. This process creates a clear, documented trail for facilities-related expenditures and ensures accountability for capital improvements.
The language revision was recommended, reviewed, and edited by county staff. The revisions enhance transparency by establishing clear, auditable procedures for facilities-related spending, thereby increasing public trust and internal accountability.
