Environmental Services previews budget requests; committee flags $2M tax-deed land figure for verification
Summary
Environmental Services summarized department extra funding requests including aerial imagery and lidar; a committee member flagged a tax-deed land line showing $2,000,000 (higher than earlier reports), and staff agreed to verify the figure before the county board.
Environmental Services staff provided a budget outlook and a list of department extra funding requests (AFRs) totaling $105,000, including requests for aerial/ortho imagery and lidar upgrades important to NextGen 911. Staff said the county faces about $6 million in total AFRs across departments and is evaluating funding options (levy, bonding, internal loan fund) to keep the levy flat.
During the discussion a committee member flagged a tax-deed land line appearing in the budget book at roughly $2,000,000, a marked increase from earlier figures staff recalled in the low hundreds of thousands. Environmental Services staff agreed to verify the audit timing and the current report and to provide an updated figure to the committee before county board consideration.
Next step: staff will run current reports with finance to reconcile the tax-deed land figure and present clarified figures to the committee/board.
