Budget Cuts Big Topic During Tonight’s Commission Meeting

Budget cuts will be the big topic of discussion during tonight’s Cannon County Commission Meeting.  Last Thursday the Cannon County Budget Committee met after the State Comptroller sent a letter earlier in October stating that the Commission must do something to get the County out of a financial crises they are currently in.  One requirement sent down by the Comptroller was that the County must decrease spending for the fiscal year $100,000.  The Budget Committee will recommend all county departments cut 2.4% out of their current budget to meet the State Comptroller’s goal.
Other items on the agenda will be the quarterly reports and Corey Davenport will present a lease agreement between the industrial development board and Cannon County.  Meeting is scheduled to start tonight at 5:00 at the Cannon County Courthouse.
