Finance committee: FY24 closed near budget; FY25 includes $100 poll-worker supplement
Summary
The finance committee reported fiscal year 2024 closed near budget with a roughly $4,000 variance and noted election salaries and overtime exceeded budget. The FY25 budget approved by county council includes a $100 supplemental pay for poll workers and totals about $1,787,900.
The finance committee told the board that fiscal year 2024 closed close to plan — roughly a $4,000 variance — despite election salaries and overtime exceeding line items for the year. "We finished the year essentially at budget. It was about a $4,000 delta," Becker said.
Becker said the FY25 budget approved by county council assumes two countywide elections (the Nov. 5 general election plus a second to be determined) and includes a $100 supplemental pay for poll workers funded by the county. The FY25 total for the department is about $1,787,900; committee members noted the budget assumed the possibility of two countywide elections and a small special election for a school-board seat in District 7 in Bluffton.
Board members asked about goals and objectives for FY25 in the budget document; Director Marie said the department maintains goals and objectives that were not included in the county's budget packet but can be shared and refined with board input. Members asked for a prompt review so goal-related work can apply during the fiscal year already in progress.
