Warren County Social Services reports 36% of budget spent through May; revenues lag at 32%
Summary
Warren County Department of Social Services told the Human Services Committee it had spent about 36% of its budget through May while receiving about 32% of projected revenues; overtime rose about 5% amid onboarding and training of new caseworkers.
The Warren County Department of Social Services reported to the Human Services Committee that it had used about 36% of its budget through May while receiving roughly 32% of projected revenues year to date.
Jill, finance director, presented the department’s May revenue and expenditure report, saying, "Expenses, we've used up about 36% of our budget." She added that revenues were lighter in May but expected to increase in June following delays related to the state budget process.
Jill said overtime is up about 5% compared with last year, which she attributed in part to onboarding and training of newly hired caseworkers. A committee member praised the department’s budgeting relative to other counties, noting that some social services departments across the state have seen much larger overexpenditures.
No formal action was taken on the finance report. Committee members asked no substantive follow-up questions beyond brief commendations and acknowledged that additional revenue flows were expected in June.
