Ben Hill County’s 2018 audit, presented at the Oct. 8 meeting, shows a fund balance of $1,670,467.
Pat Ashley of Meeks CPA told commissioners the county’s audited fund balance is $1,670,467 and described that level as strong. County Manager Michael Dinnerman reported several operational items: the county is meeting with the Census Complete Count Committee and will hold a public meeting Oct. 10; the county received a new dump truck purchased with $24,700 in USDA grant funds; work is underway on the deed for the Mobley Bluff well; and, in his summary, "As of September, Revenues are at 149% and expenditures are at 93%." Dinnerman also said the insurance premium check was expected soon and that the county had not borrowed from its tax anticipation note (TAN) and remains financially strong.
The minutes do not include supporting financial schedules beyond the summary figures given in open session. Department heads and constitutional officers have been given 2020 budget packets to begin the budget process, according to Chief Finance Officer Darlow Maxwell.
