CALL TO ORDER
Chairman Shickle called the work session to order.
Finance Director Cheryl Shiffler reviewed the information presented in the Board's
agenda packet. She advised the County could expect to receive $8.8 million in general fund
revenue from local taxes; however, expenditure requests for FY 16 total $16.5 million to include
capital requests and new positions. Finance Director Shiffler noted the funding for positions
approved for Social Services and Fire and Rescue, which were done outside of the budget
process, along with the salary survey, would need to be taken out of the additional new revenue.
This expense was approximately $1 million. She then reviewed the preliminary funding
scenarios for FYI 6:
- Scenario A — reflects current level of fund balance funding, zero tax increase, and
includes $8.8 million in new revenue.
- Scenario B — Same as scenario A, except utilizing only $2.2 million in fund balance
funding instead of $4.3 million.
- Scenario C — reflected no funding from fund balance and no tax increase.
