Finance committee reviews FY26 appropriations spreadsheet, flags line-item anomalies
Summary
Committee reviewed FY26 appropriations and discussed discrepancies (noting a roughly $30,000 fringe discrepancy and large outside-services overrun tied to contractor work). The committee agreed to prepare appropriation ordinances for review and county filing in June.
Staff presented FY26 expense numbers and an appropriations worksheet and noted differences between actual spending and prior appropriation levels. One member said there remained "approximately 30,000" difference between actual expense and appropriation in fringe/benefit lines. Outside services (contractors) were identified as a major driver of over-appropriation in several lines, including demolition, tree removal and new overhead doors cited in the packet.
The committee agreed to prepare appropriation ordinances and indicated the appropriation must be approved and filed with the county at the June board meeting; staff will share updated spreadsheets on Google Drive for collaborative review before then.
