Summary
County Manager Michael Dinnerman reported a General Fund cash position of $1,597,000 and year-to-date increases in SPLOST ($243,000) and LOST ($218,000) collections; commissioners praised county elections staff and the new elections building.
County Manager Michael Dinnerman told the Ben Hill County Commission on Nov. 3 that the county’s General Fund cash position was $1,597,000 and that year‑to‑date collections were higher than the previous year, noting SPLOST collections were up $243,000 and LOST collections were up $218,000 compared with the prior year. He said he and CFO Darlow Maxwell are currently working on the 2021 budget.
Chairman Steve Taylor said the county received good reviews regarding elections from state and local sources. Michael Dinnerman thanked Elections Supervisor Cindi Dunlap and her team, saying the new elections building and parking lot had worked out well and contributed to smooth operations.
The transcript records these financial and administrative updates but does not provide a reconciled year‑over‑year total or additional budget detail. The county did not supply further documentation at the meeting; follow‑up with county finance staff would be needed for full budget figures.
