    Request a budget amendment to bring to the Board of Commissioners for any request still within this budget period (ends June 30, 2024).

    AND/OR

    Create a detailed request for staff to give to the finance director for future needs in the upcoming budget period (starts July 1, 2024).  A subcommittee could be useful for creating this detailed request/plan.

    Recommended Action: Hold a discussion for budget options and make a motion to direct staff on what is requested.
