Audubon County officials review FY27 budgets; auditor refiles valuation after utility amendment
Summary
Audubon County Auditor Lisa Frederiksen reported a refiled valuation after amended Mid America utility values and presented FY27 budget materials. IT Director Ben Linde presented a proposed FY27 IT budget that was trimmed; Treasurer Debbie Campbell reviewed the county’s proposed budget in the afternoon and was asked to report on proceeds from the Valley Business Park sale.
Audubon County officials spent part of their Feb. 17 meeting on FY27 budget preparations and accounting clarifications.
Auditor Lisa Frederiksen told supervisors the county had to refile valuation paperwork with the State after utility valuations for Mid America were amended; she said the changes produced only minimal effects on the county's reports. Frederiksen said payroll is being processed for the upcoming pay date, that seven township budgets have been submitted, and that the Auditor's Office will meet Feb. 25 to discuss running biweekly leave accruals and to review reasons for budget increases or decreases in FY27 proposals.
IT Director Ben Linde presented his proposed FY27 IT budget; supervisors asked that future submissions include the current budget alongside proposed figures for easier comparison and made several line-item reductions during discussion. Linde also outlined procedures for duties while he is on temporary leave.
County Attorney Chris Swensen met with supervisors to review budget matters later in the afternoon, and Treasurer Debbie Campbell presented the FY27 proposed budget at 1:55 p.m. Supervisors requested that Campbell check and report back on any retained funds and interest from the sale of the Valley Business Park. No final budget votes were recorded at the Feb. 17 meeting; the record shows ongoing review and follow-up tasks assigned to staff.
