Auditor budget sees small salary-driven increases; mapping manager funding shifted

Daviess County Commission · August 12, 2026

Summary

Staff explained modest increases in the auditor's budget tied to salary changes and dues; a mapping manager's cost was moved between funds because the mapping fund will lack sufficient resources next year, but staff said the position and funding are being managed, not newly added.

A county staff member told commissioners the auditor's budget showed only minor changes tied to salary and related costs. "The auditor's budget, there's not any changes other than, to salary, Social Security per, and the dues and subscriptions is up a little bit because it's a percentage of Jen's salary," the staff member said, explaining the increase is proportional to existing payroll costs.

Staff also explained a title realignment for a position (line 1115) reflected a personnel change rather than a new budget addition. The mapping manager role was temporarily reallocated because the county expects the mapping fund will not have sufficient funding next year; staff said the county periodically shifts cost allocations to cover shortfalls. "We just try and fund it out of her mapping fund whenever we can," the staff member said.
