6/12/26 Board of County Commissioners: FY27 Budget BOCC Departments Part 2 of 2

The Kootenai County Board of Commissioners held a budget review meeting on June 12, 2026, focusing on FY27 budgets for various departments including Building Grounds, Juvenile Detention maintenance, Reprographics, and the Veterans Department. Facilities Director Jeff Boller presented detailed budget proposals for building grounds and maintenance, highlighting modest increases primarily due to necessary equipment replacements, pest control, and elevator service contracts. Capital improvement requests included a new washer and dryer for on-site laundry, a security call system upgrade, and a potential refresh of the meeting room, though the latter was recommended for removal to reduce costs. The Juvenile Detention maintenance budget included a $7,000 replacement of backflow valve gaskets and a $24,893 request for a 3/4 ton pickup truck with plow. The Veterans Department reported a flat budget with a modest $1,575 increase due to vendor cost increases and discussed a personnel request that had not been processed through HR. No formal votes were recorded in the transcript, but budget items and capital projects were discussed with plans for future approvals. Overall, the meeting focused on prudent budget adjustments and capital expenditures to maintain county facilities and services.
