The Hood River County Commission held a worksession on Tuesday to discuss budget philosophy as they head into planning for fiscal year 2025-26 and beyond.  In her budget message, County Administrator Allison Williams says there is a lot of long-term planning that needs to be done.  Williams says this year’s budget will be about maintaining what the County has.  She says the wildcard in this year’s fiscal planning is what is happening at the federal level, noting the County started a number of years ago to access as many grant resources as possible.  Another issue:  increases in Public Employees Retirement System costs and other rising costs of doing business.
