Central services projects higher postage and supply costs in 2027 budget
Summary
Tracy Archark, Central Services, told the finance committee she budgeted $110,000 for postage in 2027 because of rising mailing costs (election mailings, assessments, treasurer notices) and listed lease and ScanPro license expenses.
Tracy Archark presented the Central Services budget and said postage costs are rising across several county functions, budgeting $110,000 for general mailings and an additional $80,000 specifically for election‑related postage. "Postage for election, $80,000," she said, citing voter ID card mailings and quadrennial assessment mailings as drivers of that line item.
Other central services expenses in the proposal include $30,000 for maintenance contracts and lease costs for four mail machines. Tracy noted centralized ordering of major envelope and paper stock but said smaller office items remain decentralized. Committee members discussed possible expansion of centralized services but Tracy reported limited uptake so far.
