Management and Budget updates committee on FY25–26 schedule and second-quarter financial report
Summary
Deputy budget director Greg McIntyre and staff updated the committee on the timeline for the FY2025–26 budget and noted progress on delivering a fuller quarterly reporting package; the second-quarter report currently covers primarily the general fund and staff said expansion to other funds is in progress.
Greg McIntyre, deputy budget director in the Department of Management and Budget, updated the Wayne County Commission Committee on the schedule for preparing the FY2025–26 budget and the status of the second-quarter financial report for fiscal year 2024–25.
McIntyre said staff aim to deliver a financial summary to CFO Wallace by Friday, July 11, then to the CEO the following week and to the commission thereafter, pending scheduling. He said the department is balancing funds and business units now and is working to provide a higher-quality product after staffing challenges and implementation work. “We would like to be on the CEO's calendar the very next week,” McIntyre said.
On the second-quarter financial report, James Tatum, director of financial planning and analysis, told commissioners the county maintains roughly 73 funds. Tatum said producing timely, multi-fund quarterly reports is time consuming and will become easier once the county’s Oracle implementation is complete; staff committed to continuing development of expanded reporting.
Commissioners emphasized timeliness and asked staff to provide expected delivery dates for fuller reporting. McIntyre said staffing shortages and system-transition work have delayed delivery but that staff are working to produce a quality product and meet the upcoming internal deadlines.
No formal vote was recorded on these informational items during the public portion of the meeting.
