Is an appointed consolidated human services board responsible for approving or disapproving the budget for the county’s consolidated human services agency?

The CHS board is responsible for planning and recommending the budget for the CHSA, in coordination with the CHSA director. However, an appointed CHS board does not transmit or present the budget to the county commissioners, nor does it have the power to ultimately approve or disapprove the budget. The board of county commissioners has the ultimate authority to approve the county budget for human services.
