COEUR d’ALENE — Kootenai County commissioners looked to trim about $19,000 from the budget for Fiscal Year 2025 after the county’s share of liquor revenues fell short of expectations. 

The board agreed Aug. 1 to publish a $131 million budget for fiscal year 2025 with a 2% tax increase. County finance director Brandi Falcon told commissioners Monday that she has since learned from the Idaho State Liquor Division that the county’s liquor revenues will be about $173,000 lower than expected.
