Budget committee recommends monthly appropriations; DSS amount adjusted
Summary
The budget committee recommended monthly appropriations instead of annual pro‑rata splits and adjusted the Department of Social Services’ request from $667,738 to $664,553.35; supervisors discussed cash‑flow and next steps for approving monthly disbursements.
The budget committee recommended that county monthly appropriations be limited to amounts needed for each month rather than automatically dividing annual appropriation requests by 12. Staff said this approach is intended to improve cash‑flow oversight.
During the meeting staff reported the Department of Social Services initially requested $667,738 but adjusted its monthly request to $664,553.35 after committee review. The committee recommended approval of county and school monthly appropriations immediately and to hold the DSS approval pending an additional budget committee meeting. The board voted to accept the committee recommendations as presented.
Supervisors debated cash‑flow issues, with some expressing concern about borrowing to cover operating bills and others pointing to timing differences — notably a revenue lull before tax collections and intermittent reimbursements — as drivers for a revenue‑anticipation instrument discussed later in the meeting.
