Surveyor budget tweaks: computer replacement, section‑corner contracts and GDI allocation trimmed
Summary
The council reviewed the surveyor’s fee‑funded budgets (perpetuation and drainage), agreed to lower a GDI allocation to $5,000 and approved a $2,500 computer/software addition in a fee fund that does not affect the general fund.
Henry County surveyor staff (Speaker 10) briefed the council on fee‑funded accounts that do not affect the general fund, including a contractual allowance for section‑corner work and a proposed $2,500 increase in the computer/software line to replace a desktop.
The surveyor explained that the section‑corner work is contracted out (about $15,000 of contract work expected depending on vendor capacity and weather), and that the drainage and perpetuation funds are fee‑based and separate from the general fund. Councilors agreed to reduce the GDI allocation for the year from its current level to $5,000 to create a modest cushion for countywide cuts.
Councilors noted the perpetuation fund is intended for digitizing records and similar one‑time investments and that adjusting a fee‑funded line does not affect the county’s general levy.
Next steps: staff will reflect the $5,000 GDI allocation and the computer/software adjustment in the surveyor’s fee budgets.
