Dear County Taxpayers, Commissioners, and County Administrators,

As you may know, the County began work on the 2025 budget back in August. The first proposed budget was presented to the Board of County Commissioners on October 15. Following that, on October 22 and 23, department heads and elected officials presented their budgets during meetings that were posted on the County calendar and open to the public. Most recently, on November 12, the Commissioners conducted a budget review meeting, which was also included on the calendar and open to public attendance.

As we progress through this budget process, we are seeing many changes and improvements. One achievement I am particularly proud of is the increased accessibility and transparency of our budget information. Our budget documents are now available on the County website under the "Departments" section, under "Administration," where both County audits and budgets are easily accessible. To further enhance accessibility, we have added a direct link to the budget on the top of the Delta County website homepage.

This process began with the 2024 adopted budget as a baseline. The draft 2025 budget has been uploaded to the website and is available for review. Additionally, a hard copy is available in the County Administration lobby for anyone to view. Citizens and employees are encouraged to check the website regularly for updates, as the budget is a dynamic document that evolves over the course of several months.

The adoption of the final 2025 budget is scheduled for December 10, 2024. Based on input from citizens, elected officials, and department heads, adjustments may continue to be made up until that date. I encourage everyone to take the time to review the budget and submit any suggestions or requests for changes. Together, we can ensure that this budget reflects the needs of Delta County and serves as a strong working document for the upcoming fiscal year.
