HB2651

Amends the City of Grand Junction's budget process, public hearing requirements, and Town Administrator duties.

The bill amends the City of Grand Junction's budget process by requiring the Town Administrator to submit a proposed budget to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen 45 days before the fiscal year begins. The Board must then hold a public hearing on the budget. Appropriations from the last fiscal year become the appropriations for the new fiscal year unless amended. The bill also modifies the duties of the City Recorder and the Town Administrator, including the Town Administrator's role in overseeing city departments, preparing the municipal budget, and ensuring compliance with state and federal.
