The Board of Directors of Cornerstar Metropolitan District held a meeting and a public hearing regarding the 2025 amended budget. The resolution was adopted by affirmative vote of a majority of the Board. The adopted budget for fiscal year 2025 was amended due to additional costs that could not have been reasonably anticipated at the time of adoption of the budget, requiring the expenditure of funds in excess of those appropriated. Funds are available for such expenditure. The adopted budget for fiscal year 2025 was amended as follows: General Fund $798,000.
