Perry County holds first reading of budget, outlines major funds and next steps
Summary
County leaders presented the first reading of Perry County's budget, outlining major revenue and expenditure lines — including a road fund, jail operations and LGEA — and directed staff to work with the treasurer toward a final budget.
Perry County's governing body completed a first reading of the county budget, with the Presiding Official praising staff work and reading high-level fund figures into the record. The official asked members to review the budget package and prepare follow-up questions for the finalization process.
In the meeting presentation the Presiding Official cited key figures: an approximate road fund total of $19.8 million, an anticipated $8.5 million in additional road-related receipts, a $2 million state contribution, about $1 million anticipated in grants, and roughly $5 million from the general fund to supplement road spending. The transcript also records a jail operating figure of about $2.1 million, an LGEA line of roughly $3.3 million, and past coal severance receipts near $225,000.
A motion to approve the first reading was made by Church and seconded by Combs and carried by voice vote. The Presiding Official explained that the first reading is a procedural requirement to begin work with the treasurer toward a final budget; members were asked to take the budget package home, review it and return with comments for further discussion.
