Supervisors Reject Gould’s Bid to Use Travel Funds for Assistant’s Mileage

The Mohave County Board of Supervisors convened recently to discuss budgetary proposals. During the session, Supervisor Gould proposed a motion to reallocate funds from his district office’s travel account.

Gould sought approval to transfer $7,250, which he intended to use for salary and wages. If passed, this move would have resulted in a wage increase of $4.81 per hour for staff. However, the board ultimately denied this request.

The rejection highlights the ongoing discussions within the board regarding budget management and allocation of resources. Any changes in funding require careful consideration, especially when it pertains to staff compensation.

As the board balances financial responsibilities with the needs of employees, similar proposals may arise in future meetings, continuing to shape the fiscal landscape of Mohave County.
