Finance report: county bank balance, tax delinquencies, nursing home recovery and solid waste shortfall noted
Summary
The county reported bank balances, sales-tax receipts and delinquent tax figures; nursing-home operations showed improving census and revenues, while solid waste and recycling are off target in April.
County staff presented the financial report for April and provided program updates on nursing homes, solid waste and tax collections.
The county’s bank balance from bank statements was reported at $26,564,404.39; solid waste cash balance at the end of March was $4,011,063.45. Daily receipts for the reporting period totaled $2,576,749.86. Sales tax for April was reported at $176,425.37. Delinquent income-tax payments reported $28,744.26 with a delinquent balance of $1,237,020.49; current taxes payments were $226,005.47 with a balance of $11,000,019.95. The tax-certificate issuance for the year showed 779 parcels.
On nursing homes, staff said Vernon Manor’s and Vernon Acres’ census and finances have improved: increased Medicaid rates and operational efficiencies were cited as contributors. Committee members asked about staffing, payer mix and collections; staff said private-pay collections had improved and cited ongoing monitoring of Medicare and Medicaid policy developments.
Solid waste and recycling were reported as “a little bit off target” in April with about a $100 shortfall noted; members reiterated the need for clearer landfill utilization and financial detail (see separate article on public comment). Leachate costs and seasonality were mentioned as factors complicating April comparisons.
Committee members placed the financial report on file following discussion.
