2025 budget hearing complete

Gunnison County commissioners held a public hearing for the 2025 budget on Tuesday evening, December 10. As usual, no public comments were submitted and no members of the public attended. The formal budget adoption is scheduled for Thursday, December 12 at 9 a.m. and the mill levy certification is set for December 20 at 9 a.m. 

“Budgeting for us is a clear indication of our values. Our budget is attached to our strategic plan that prioritizes the things we are required to do, and then also the things we choose to do by policy,” commented commissioner chair Jonathan Houck. “We have always used our budget as a lens that people can look at and say ‘these are things that are valued in Gunnison County.’”
