Auditor reports tax collections but flags $178,280 shortfall in 2024–25 budget
Summary
Brooks County's auditor reported tax collections in the mid-80s to 90% range and the court reviewed budget documents showing a $178,280 shortfall for the 2024–25 budget; reimbursements from county sources were being pursued to reduce the deficit.
County Auditor Eugenio Garcia briefed the court on revenue and spending for the 2024'025 budget cycle. Garcia reported tax-collection figures in the mid-80s percent range early in the meeting and later materials on file reflected roughly 90% collection; the court discussed a budget shortage of $178,280. Garcia told the court that if current spending patterns continued the county should be able to manage cash flow, and staff were pursuing reimbursements from OLS and the Sheriff's Office to help close the gap.
No formal budget adjustments were voted on during the March 12 meeting; the items were presented for information and follow-up.
