At least one member of the Pinal County Board of Supervisors thinks changes should be made to a budget resolution to give less authority to the county manager in the future.
Supervisor Todd House of Apache Junction said a budget resolution that governs expenditures and budgets for all elected and appointed officials should place more decision-making authority with the board instead of the county manager.
The resolution passed 4-1 on June 26, with House dissenting. He decided to bring the item up for discussion again at Wednesday’s work session.
“I don’t want to stop the resolution that’s currently in place,” House said. “We passed that, and that’s a good resolution. (But from) the July 30, 2008, resolution to the 2012 resolution, there have been some dramatic changes to where it gave the county manager more power and more issues that they were taking care of rather than the Board of Supervisors.”
