County finance staff brief board on budget‑to‑actual results for period ending March 31, 2025
Summary
Finance staff presented a quarter‑to‑quarter report on general fund revenue and expenditures through March 31, 2025, noting property and vehicle license taxes rising; county excise tax and some departmental expenditure variances were explained.
County finance staff presented the budget‑to‑actual financial report for the period ending March 31, 2025, to the Board of Supervisors on May 7.
Connie (last name not stated), county finance staff, reviewed major general fund revenue streams, showing property tax and state shared sales taxes rising year‑over‑year and county excise tax and vehicle license taxes with seasonal patterns. She explained a comparison to fiscal 2024 can appear lower because 2024 included an unusual early spike in contracting receipts. On expenditures, Connie said several departments exceeded 75% of the year‑to‑date budget due to timing: Elections and Recorder costs are front‑loaded during election events; a facilities capital project funded by ARPA will be corrected at year‑end; Public Fiduciary rose due to indigent burials.
Supervisors asked follow‑up questions about Payment‑in‑Lieu‑of‑Taxes (PILT) impacts from Secure Rural Schools funding; staff said PILT effects would lag and provided a CSA (County Supervisors Association) analysis for board members. No formal action was taken; staff will provide further details on PILT timing.
