Dooly County adopts FY2007–08 budget and sets 2007 millage rate
Summary
The Board adopted the fiscal year 2007–08 general fund budget and SPLOST plan, and set the 2007 millage rate at 16.47 mills for county purposes (school millage set separately at 14.942). The General Fund was set at $11,154,179.
On Sept. 21 the Dooly County Board of Commissioners held the required public hearing and adopted the FY2007–2008 general fund and SPLOST budgets and set the 2007 tax levy.
The Board approved a General Fund budget of $11,154,179 and a SPLOST (special purpose local option sales tax) fund budget that together total $12,762,179. The county set the 2007 millage rate at 16.47 mills for county operations and adopted the school board’s recommended school millage of 14.942 mills for school funding.
Minutes show the county completed its FY2006 audit and reviewed budget reports prior to adoption. The county also discussed upcoming obligations, including jail bond payments and the timing of SPLOST remittances tied to the 2002 and 2007 SPLOST cycles.
Chairman Daniels and Administrator Sanders noted budget planning steps: department budget worksheets, a budget work schedule and a projected 3% cost‑of‑living adjustment used for preliminary payroll estimates. The Board also discussed longer‑term liabilities such as the jail bond payment schedule through 2022 and the county retirement program options presented by staff.
The Board recorded the tax levy in the minutes and directed the county clerk to advertise and provide a certified copy of the levy to the tax commissioner for collection.
