Hood River County officials report the County is in good fiscal health, but inflation will have an impact on their Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget. County Administrator Jeff Hecksel says they do have four collective bargaining agreements open right now, and inflation is having an impact on those. He says inflation brings uncertainty to all areas of the budget. The County does have some American Rescue Plan Act funds to consider in developing the budget, and Commission Chair Mike Oates said they plan to be conservative with those to make sure all the County’s pandemic related costs are covered.
