County staff reported June financial activity and a year-to-date surplus estimate during the Hart County Board of Commissioners meeting.
The presenter said the month included several large disbursements and that annual liability payments caused recent monthly spikes. The speaker reported a year-to-date surplus of $3,000,267.08 and called out specific revenue lines: property-tax receipts of $29,005.75, sales-tax (loss) receipts of $370,870, EMS fees of $119,076, and vehicle-tag fees of $172,397. The presenter also said revenue collections were about 42% above a benchmark and that some lines were running about 14% behind, but did not provide a clear single-line monthly revenue and expense pair in the audible transcript.
Commissioners asked for additional transparency in the financial dashboard, including a monthly solid-waste revenue/expense line so the public can track that program. The finance presenter agreed to add a solid-waste line to future monthly reports.
The presenter cautioned that monthly revenues and expenses can fluctuate due to large periodic payments and state revenue estimates used for budgeting. The board did not take any budget amendment or appropriation action at the meeting; commissioners asked staff to return with a financial dashboard including the requested solid-waste numbers.
Several numeric items were audible in the meeting but one or more monthly totals in the transcript were unclear; the board directed staff to provide the full financial packet and to clarify any figures for the official minutes and public records.
