1. FY 2020-2021 Midyear Budget Review
Clerk Duncan ran through the midyear budget review. In terms of expenses, the total is just shy of the 48% mark spent. This is deflated though by the fact that the courthouse grant is budgeted for but no expenses have been made yet.
On the revenue side, there is a similar deflation due to the Courthouse grant revenue being projected but not receipted. The state revenue is coming in at a healthy pace. There was a change to the sales tax revenue based on where online sales are delivered. This had led to sales tax revenue coming in at a much higher rate than projected. Fines and fees and forfeitures are down from this point last year, but are about at the level projected for this year so that is a good news, bad news situation. Federal prisoner reimbursements are down considerably and also we have not received a payment since December. Overall, the revenue projected as at 48% for the totals.
XIII. NEW BUSINESS
