May financial report: county revenues lag straight‑line projections, fines running high

Julie, presenting the May financial packet, told the committee the county is in budget season and walked members through projected major revenues and timing anomalies. "So for revenues, we are currently at 30.8 across the county, and for expenses, we're at 31.9," Julie said, contrasting those figures with a straight‑line projection of 41.7% for five months.

She explained that some revenues are one‑time or recorded late in 'period 13', and that when anomalies are removed charges for services sit near 40.93% year‑to‑date. Julie also flagged fines at 51.8% as running over policy and noted membership dues and election software timing boosted some general‑fund line items. She pointed committee members to pages 15–19 of the packet for updated projections and asked members to raise any questions so staff can refine numbers during the budget process.

Julie said two grant funds will realign once revenues are recorded against previously incurred expenses and that care‑and‑treatment cash flows tied to property tax will normalize later in the year. She invited committee members to follow up by email on specific line items.
