County updates driver-education and teen-court trust fund budgets; driver-education fee tied to traffic penalties
Summary
Budget staff presented minor increases to the Driver Safety Education Fund and Teen Court Trust Fund based on updated revenue and cost-allocation estimates; driver-education revenues come from a county ordinance $3 fee on civil traffic penalties.
Budget staff presented the Driver Safety Education Fund (Fund 126) with a total proposed budget of approximately $150,613 and a modest increase tied to cost allocations and updated revenue estimates. Staff said the county collects a $3 fee on civil traffic penalties pursuant to a county ordinance to fund driver's education programs in public schools and that updated actuals allowed a small increase in the fund.
The Teen Court Trust Fund (Fund 131) showing a total proposed operating amount of roughly $12,489 reflects modest increases tied to available fee balances; staff noted a 2004 state statute (Senate Bill 2962) authorized use of accumulated teen-court funds by the circuit court until depleted and that Okeechobee collects teen-court fees pursuant to that statute.
No board action was taken; staff will carry the updated estimates into the draft budget.
