Finance director reports stable cash; commissioners set June budget presentation schedule
Summary
Tammy Robinson, Geary County finance director, told commissioners that March cash reconciliations matched the treasurer's reports and that payroll and revenues are near seasonal expectations; commissioners scheduled June presentations, including evening appropriation nights and daytime department presentations.
Tammy Robinson, Geary County finance director, presented the county’s monthly financial reports and led a discussion to schedule June budget presentations.
Robinson said cash reconciliations for March matched the treasurer’s records and described fund‑by‑fund status. She reported that payroll costs are running at about 26.92% of the year to date (reflecting seven pay periods out of 27) and explained timing effects—such as work‑compensation payments posted early in the year—that make some department lines appear higher than the pro rata share. Robinson said overall revenue and expenditure percentages were roughly in line with expectations for the first quarter.
Commissioners then discussed dates and times for the 2026 budget presentations. They tentatively agreed to hold appropriation (public appropriation) evenings on June 3 and June 8, starting at 5:00 p.m., and to schedule department‑head presentations for June 10 and June 11 with a 1:30 p.m. start. Commissioners said they may use two evening sessions for appropriations to avoid overly long single evenings and to make the process accessible to community members.
Robinson offered to provide detailed breakdowns on request and to meet individually with commissioners to review specific line items. No budget votes or appropriation decisions were made at the meeting; the item set dates for upcoming deliberations.
