Finance director briefs committee on sales-tax memo, ARPA guidance and 2025 budget assumptions
Summary
Finance Director Steve Hatton told the Sheboygan County Finance Committee that a 7-year sales tax memo is being prepared for the May 21 County Board meeting, Treasury guidance on ARPA continues to affect spending decisions, the 2023 audit is underway, and draft 2025 budget assumptions were presented for review.
Finance Director Steve Hatton updated the Sheboygan County Finance Committee on May 8, saying staff are preparing a 7-year sales tax memorandum for the County Board meeting scheduled May 21 and continuing work on 2025 budget assumptions and a five‑year plan.
Hatton also noted recent Treasury updates affecting American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) requirements, reported that the 2023 fiscal-year audit is in progress, and reminded the committee that the Form A annual report to the state is due May 15, 2024. These items were presented as information and no committee action or vote was taken on them during the meeting.
The overview was procedural: Hatton framed the sales-tax memo as background for the County Board and positioned the 2025 budget assumptions as draft guidance for forthcoming budget work. Committee members did not request formal changes or take a vote on the budget assumptions at the May 8 meeting.
The committee will consider the sales-tax analysis at the County Board meeting May 21 and continue budget planning ahead of the 2025 budget cycle.
