ANALYSIS:
On December 15, 2025, the Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners approved
Resolution No. 83-1215-25R, in the matter of setting an estimated amount of Conservation
Futures Fund available. The resolution estimates $254,000 in total funds available for new
projects in 2026 and states that, of this amount, $38,000 is available to operations and
maintenance activities. In January of 2026, Health conducted a budget reconciliation that
identified an increased amount of available funds. A resolution amendment is necessary to reflect
the actual amount of funding available to projects in 2026: $420,000 in total, with up to $42,817
of this available for operations and maintenance activities (15% of revenue collected in 2025).
