County staff reports budget shortfall, board approves transfers and routine appropriations
Summary
A county staff member reported general fund figures and anticipated revenue shortfalls; the board approved motions to transfer funds and passed an appropriation ordinance and a budget item for the public defender's office following roll-call votes.
A staff member told the board the general fund stood at roughly $11,867,913 and that anticipated revenue runs at approximately 58% of budgeted levels, noting planned use of balances in special funds to keep the general fund in line. He said departments' budgets were generally on track but urged attention to transfers to cover shortfalls.
"Was $11,867,913," the staff member reported, adding that revenues had been coming in at about 58% of anticipated budgeted revenue. The board subsequently approved a motion to transfer funds and approved several appropriation items by roll-call vote, including a budget appropriation ordinance for the public defender's office. The clerk recorded multiple affirmative votes and the chair announced the motions carried.
