Wayne County budget office outlines schedule and second-quarter reporting progress
Summary
Deputy Budget Director Greg McIntyre and James Tatum, director of financial planning and analysis, updated the committee on the fiscal-year budget schedule and the second-quarter financial report, noting work to produce reports for roughly 73 funds and a target review by CFO John Wallace this week.
Wayne County’s Management and Budget staff told the Committee on Ways and Means they are finishing fund balancing and expect to present revised materials to the chief financial officer this week as part of the fiscal-year 2025–26 budget schedule.
Greg McIntyre, Deputy Budget Director, told commissioners the staff’s goal was to have a summary for CFO John Wallace by Friday, July 11, then seek the CEO’s calendar and appear before the commission within about two weeks, depending on scheduling. McIntyre said staff had “worked diligently” to prepare a timely, quality product and that some delays were caused by factors beyond their control.
On the county’s second-quarter financial report, James Tatum, director of financial planning and analysis, said the county operates roughly 73 funds and that producing a consolidated quarterly report for all funds is time consuming. Tatum said the reporting process will become easier once the county fully implements Oracle.
Commissioners requested clarity on timing and expressed a desire for timely quarterly reports that include fund-level detail rather than a single general-fund summary. McIntyre said staff would continue developing the reports and returning to the commission with an expected schedule.
Clarifying details: Management and Budget seeks CFO John Wallace’s review by Friday, July 11; the department identified about 73 county funds; staff noted Oracle implementation as a facilitator for more complete reporting; staff shortages and other constraints were cited as reasons for previous delays.
