July 1st is Monday and the fiscal year is coming to an end. The county’s budget committee continues to meet as a budget for the new year is being created. The county commissioners are scheduled to resume their recessed meeting on Friday with the focus on budget amendments. Some of those amendments are coming from the board of education.
The school board met last night from their recessed meeting from earlier this month and approved a slate of final adjustments from this year’s budget. A total of 17 budget resolutions were approved dealing with budget adjustments ranging from over 71-thousand dollars in special education to eighty-cents in social security and workers compensation for the board.
Those resolutions are now forwarded to the county commissioners for their approval.
The county commission will meet on Friday afternoon at 5:30pm.
In addition to the budget, voters last year give county government a mandate to create an office for a financial director. That committee will meet Saturday morning.
