Mason County finance manager reports June revenues and higher expenditures tied to risk-pool payment
Summary
Budget and finance manager Jennifer Gierly presented the county’s June financials: year-to-date current-expense revenue of $25.67 million (53% of budget) and expenditures of $27.55 million through June, noting a large risk-pool payment and transfers that account for much of the expenditure increase.
Jennifer Gierly, Mason County’s budget and finance manager, presented the county’s June 2026 financial report, highlighting year-to-date current-expense revenue of $25,674,698 (about 53% of the annual budget) and expenditures through June of $27,553,414.
Gierly said the larger expenditures compared with last year reflect a full risk-pool payment made in January and increased transfers out to other funds. "The big difference there is the risk pool payment that we paid in January of this year," she said, adding that transfers to other funds also contributed to the year-over-year change.
On special funds, Gierly flagged declines in community-development revenue ($945,483 through June) compared with prior years and noted increases in property and sales taxes. She also reported the general-fund cash balance at the end of June was $22,482,886.
Commissioners asked staff to follow up on an anomalous line-item spike tied to detention and correction services and for a clearer grouping of revenue sources on future reports so totals and trends are easier to read.
Gierly said she will follow up with more detail on the detention-and-corrections revenue line and on an August anomaly that appeared on prior-year reports.
