Mohave County Supervisors Dismiss Zero-Based Budgeting Trial for Development Services

KINGMAN — The Mohave County Board of Supervisors has turned down a proposal to adopt zero-based budgeting for the Development Services Department in the upcoming 2025-26 budget cycle.
During a recent meeting, Board members discussed the potential impacts of this budgeting method, which requires every department to justify its budget from the ground up. Proponents argued that zero-based budgeting could enhance financial transparency and accountability. However, concerns regarding the administrative burden and implementation costs led to its rejection.
The decision reflects ongoing debates about budget management strategies within Mohave County, emphasizing the balancing act between fiscal responsibility and efficient service delivery.
