Veterans Administration asks council to consider increased budget; unused funds revert to general fund
Summary
A Veterans Administration representative asked council to consider an increased budget; officials clarified that leftover funds do not roll over to departments but return to the general fund for reallocation.
A representative identified as Ms. Brooks said the Veterans Administration's budget has increased since last year and requested that the council and administrator consider her department's funding needs.
Chairman Freddie L. Houston Sr. and a staff speaker, Ms. Maria Williams, clarified county practice: leftover funds at year-end do not roll over to departments but revert to the general fund to be reallocated in the next budget cycle. Ms. Brooks asked the council to factor the department's increased needs into the June proposal.
Treasurer Sandy Cochran said she could provide department-by-department breakdowns showing where cuts have been implemented to assist department heads in preparing budget requests and adjustments.
