Title
State Approval of County Budget
Body
Local budgets approved by the Local Government Division of the New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) are required by State Statute to be made a part of the minutes of that local body. Therefore, the letter with the approved budget from DFA is being provided here so that it may be incorporated into the minutes. No further Council action is required
DFA required a change to the Law Enforcement Protection Fund decreasing the adopted budgeted expenditures by $1,200 to match the grant award. This change was due to a difference in the total number of officers between when the grant was applied for and when the budget was adopted (The County receives $600 for each officer employed at the time of budget adoption). The change was done in a budget revision 2022-06 that was approved by Council on July 27th, 2021 and was posted to LGBMS in September after the budget was approved.
The total adopted expenditure budget approved by DFA is $245,119,586.
