STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
As a temporary measure to protect county finances during the declared State of Emergency for COVID-19,
Jefferson County adopted Resolution 22-20 on April 10, 2020. This resolution mandates that no employment
positions at the County shall be created or existing positions filled except as authorized by County
Administrator review and approval. The Resolution is set to expire at the end of the 2020-2021 County
Budget Biennium.
Now, a year after this Resolution was adopted, the pandemic's impact on the County's budget is better
understood, with the financial effects being less severe than initially anticipated. Also, the County's revenue
projections for budget year 2021 support the County's ability to conduct spending, including employment
decisions, as budgeted.

Resolution No. 22-20.
