Klickitat County has started its 2021 budget process. County Commissioners have been meeting with department heads over the last month, and their guidance to them was status quo. Commissioner David Sauter says they weren’t looking for big cuts, and at the same time won’t be adding anything new. Sauter said revenues from the regional landfills have come back from drops in April and May, cutting an expected drop of $1.5 million down to $800,000. He said the County has a healthy emergency reserve, so Commissioners decided to back fill budgets from there.
