Surveyor budget trimmed: county reduces GDI allocation and approves computer purchase
The council approved cutting the GDI allocation to $5,000 for the year to free general fund cushion and approved a software/computer purchase for the surveyor's office; members noted these are fee‑based funds and do not affect the general fund.
The full story
The county surveyor (S14) went over three funds — operations, perpetuation, and drainage — and the council asked clarifying questions about a $2,500 increase in the computer/software line for a desktop purchase. The surveyor confirmed that line is fee‑funded and does not affect the general fund. Council members agreed to reduce the GDI allocation from $10,000 to $5,000 for the year to help close budget gaps in the general fund.
