Treasurer reports $20.7 million in cash and other assets for March; court accepts report
Summary
Treasurer Julie told the court Brewster County had $20,729,858.01 in cash and other assets at the end of March (noting some funds are restricted); the court accepted the monthly financial report and budget materials for follow‑up.
Treasurer Julie presented the county’s March financials, reporting total cash and other assets of $20,729,858.01 while clarifying that figure includes funds held in various county accounts (sheriff, JP, district clerk) that are restricted for specific uses.
She reported $58,652.05 in interest earned in March with an average rate of 3.41 percent and explained $384,000 in CDs matured and were rolled into pooled accounts. Julie said accounts receivable totaled $211,649 and that March receipts were $930,593 with checks written of $794,693. The treasurer noted tourism (hotel‑motel) receipts remain a significant revenue stream.
After brief questions about receivables and timing of state supplements, the court moved, seconded and voted to accept the treasurer’s monthly report and associated budget statements. The judge said staff will prepare a refined "free cash" figure showing discretionary reserves ahead of budget workshops.
