Spending
No minutes for Planning Commission and Technical Review Committee. We only have their agendas (57 meetings held). An agenda shows what was proposed, not what was decided, so no dollar amounts approved from those boards appear here.
Minutes are in for 37 of 47 County Commission meetings held so far, so the totals below are incomplete, not final.
Approved so far (meetings with minutes), since January 2025
How spending is counted
Approximate. Figures are pulled from the minutes automatically, and each approved item counts once, using its largest dollar figure. Left out: 7 rates (like dollars per hour), revenue and property-value figures, 35 routine bill-payment lists. An item that a consent bundle repeats is counted once. Check the linked meeting for the details.
