Fiscal Sustainability

The Long Term Finance Committee is appointed by the Board of County Commissioners to review revenue and expenditures trends with a view to identifying potential financial threats and opportunities; to make recommendations to maintain a structurally balanced budget and preserve the County’s fiscal soundness; and to review capital improvement programs and the recommendations for funding those improvements.  


The committee delivered a report to the Board of County Commissioners on Jan. 15, 2019: "Recognizing La Plata County's Fiscal Reality: Recommendations for Fiscal Stability" that outlined the revenue challenges the county faces and recommendations for addressing those challenges.
