(Red Oak, Iowa) – The Montgomery County Board of Supervisors, Tuesday, discussed with County Auditor Jill Ozuna, a 2025 Budget Amendment, with regard to revenue and expenditure adjustments. Ozuna said the entire year’s worth of amendments is included in the adjustments, as required under the Code of Iowa. The amendments date back to the May, 2024 storms.

She said there were a little over $2-million in revenue that are being reported.

There were also a little more than $2-million in expenditures.

Ozuna said she spoke with Sheriff John Spunaugle, who mentioned an amount of money budgeted for a law enforcement vehicle.

Board Chair Charla Schmid said she spoke with the Sheriff before Tuesday morning’s meeting, and he indicated he won’t be asking for any more money for the vehicle, since he has all the extra equipment available to install. Normally, that would be an extra cost he would ask to have covered. Jill Ozuna said also, there’s money in the budget for tuck-pointing and associated bond fees.

The Board took no action on the Budget Amendments, as there needs to be a public hearing before they can be approved.
