Auditor reports improved receipts, lingering grant negative balance

Harrison County Commissioners Court · March 11, 2025

Summary

Harrison County auditor presented unaudited January 2025 financials showing a general fund balance and an ongoing negative balance in a county grant fund tied to a confinement grant; the county recently received a roughly $476,768 payment that reduced the outstanding deficit.

Auditor Becky presented the county's unaudited January 2025 financial report and highlighted revenue increases over FY24 and a remaining negative balance in the county grant fund tied to a confinement grant. "We have received $476,768" Becky reported, saying the payment reduced the negative balance to a modest outstanding amount that staff will follow up on with the Department of Health and Human Services.

Becky also said general fund revenues exceeded expenditures by about $2.17 million year-to-date and that property tax receipts accounted for much of the increase compared with the prior fiscal year. She noted higher spending in Public Safety was driving some expenditure growth and pointed to the debt schedule and road-and-bridge line items for further detail.
