Finance staff projects a modest shortfall and an $11 million estimated fund balance ahead of June budget deadlines
Summary
Finance staff showed a snapshot estimating a $606,003.29 deficit against requested expenditures and an estimated fund balance of about $11,000,053.05 as of June 30, 2025; staff said numbers will be refined before the preliminary budget vote in early June.
Finance staff presented a snapshot of the county’s general fund and said the packet numbers (which reflect departmental requests) would leave an estimated deficit of $606,003.29 and an estimated fund balance of roughly $11,000,053.05 as of June 30, 2025. "We'll have a desk deficit of $606,003.29," staff said and noted that many department requests remain in the packet as submitted and will be reconciled.
Commissioners asked staff to prepare comparison scenarios — including keeping last year's budget with conservative operating increases and 2% or 3% salary options — so the board can compare fiscal outcomes at upcoming meetings (May 28, June 1 and a possible June 4). Staff said final sales tax distributions and reappraisal numbers are pending and will affect the final picture.
