Sumter County council advances general fund ordinance in second reading; $1.03 million gap remains
Summary
Council approved second reading of the county general fund ordinance while staff continues work to balance a $1,033,086 deficit; revenues presented at $64,146,647 and expenditures at $65,179,733 after reductions.
Sumter County Council approved second reading Tuesday of its general fund budget ordinance while staff continues work to close a $1,033,086 shortfall.
County staff presented revenue of $64,146,647 and said expenditures had been reduced by $202,545 to $65,179,733, leaving the budget $1,033,086 in the red. The presentation followed four budget workshops; staff told the council it would keep working between meetings to bring the budget into balance.
The second reading was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote. No detailed roll-call vote was recorded in the public transcript. Council members were told staff will continue adjustments and will return with updated figures at the next budget workshop.
The matter remains at second reading, and council instructed staff to continue negotiations and adjustments so a balanced budget can be presented at subsequent workshops and readings.
Meeting minutes and future workshop agendas will carry further updates as staff refines revenue estimates and expenditure reductions.
