Teller County commissioners approve $1.34 million in accounts payable; finance items highlighted

The Teller County Board approved an accounts-payable run of $1,337,196.94 during the Sept. 10 meeting. Commissioner Campbell summarized several large line items included in the run: a monthly sales tax remittance to the state of $364,599.08; an IT capital expenditure of $181,104.57 for the central service center; and a $151,795.98 payment related to Mule Creek Grama road work.

Chair and commissioners also reviewed the budget development timeline. The chair said the finance director presented a revised budget that will be introduced in October and that revenues are projected to be mostly flat while expenditures such as insurance and other rising costs create balancing challenges. Commissioners thanked finance staff for ongoing work to finalize the budget.
