GENERAL FUND
Attorney
The County Attorney's office has been working on preservation efforts in the Thompson Divide area
related to potential gas exploration and extraction activities. At the time of budgeting for 2017, it was
not known the extent of outside legal counsel necessary. Staff has now estimated the total 2017 cost
and requests an increase to the related budget line.

Board of County Commissioners (BOCC)
The Board of Equalization (BOE) sits on behalf of the BOCC to hear appeals of the Assessor's valuation of
personal and real property, inclusive of appeals to Hearing Officers and Certified Arbitrators appointed by
the BOCC. This was a re-evaluation year and the appeal numbers came in more than budgeted for in 2017.

Detention
Having older inmates spending longer periods of time incarcerated results in medical costs greater than
budgeted. While the Jail makes every effort to limit its financial liability for doctors and hospital visits, it
only takes a small number of needy inmates to incur medical costs.
The Jail contracts out for inmate nursing services. The rigors of detention health, all-hours phone calls and
increased use of technology made retention of nurses difficult. This turnover, added to increasing inmate
needs, has resulted in cost overruns.

Land Management
On October 25th, 2017 the BOCC approved a supplemental appropriation for rockfall mitiation work
at the top of Ute Trail. A lightning strike dislodged approximately 10-15 cubic yards of rock from the
iconic overlook. This overlook is on a mining claim owned by the County. The event deposited rock
debris along the Ute Trail, South Ute Avenue, a private driveway, a pedestrian and bike trail, and into
Ute Park. Bids for mitigation of the remaining loose rock came in much higher than anticipated. This
supplemental request is to revise the budget for the project.

Adult and Family Services (AFS) has been successful applying for and being awarded grants to support
the Workforce Wellbeing and Trauma, Grief and Loss practice transformation projects. This supplemental
request appropriates the revenues received and the related expenditures for a net zero budget effect.
The funding for these two projects will help with staff retention as well as enhancing AFS work with
vulnerable children, families and adults.
