The proposed 2011 budget, totaling $109 million for all operations and services, reflects a decrease of over $4.7 million (4.1%) from the revised 2010 budget of $114 million. No property
tax increase is included in the 2011 budget. During the year we experienced 1.2% growth in the county’s tax base, significantly less than the 4.6% realized in 2007, but still increasing.
This resulted in an additional $500,000 in property tax revenues. Despite receiving federal recovery money to support various human service programs and provide grant funding, intergovernmental
revenues are expected to decrease an additional $2.1 million or almost 7%. County operations have accommodated the decreased revenues with corresponding decreases in spending where possible,
while continuing to be committed to customer service, advancing our use of technology and providing the services needed by our community. The General Fund budget of $41.1 million, which
supports court operations, the county jail, the day reporting center, administration and planning offices, and elected official offices, reflects an increase of $249,000 over the revised
budget for 2010. Decreases in interest income and charges for services have been offset by growth in the value of a mill of taxes, federal and state grant funding for specific projects
and initiatives, rental income from recently acquired property and an increase in transfers in. On the expense side, reductions in spending for county administration, public works and
community and economic development provide additional needed funding for court and judicial operations, public safety, support for the county’s nursing home and human services programs,
and for various human service and technology initiatives. Aside from ordinary capital purchases for vehicles, computers, and similar recurring items, the 2011 budget includes funding
for continued enhancement to our records management systems and other technology, farmland preservation, continued expansion of the county’s geographical information system (GIS) and
completing the update of the county’s comprehensive plan. In addition, it includes funding for several evidence‐based human service initiatives designed to improve education and assist
with drug and alcohol treatment and housing issues in an effort to reduce the burden on other county systems. Also planned for 2011 are several improvements to the nursing home facility
for windows, boiler, and electrical upgrades. These modifications to the facility will improve energy efficiency as well as the overall environment for our residents. Funding for the
project was provided through an allocation of $1,566,000 in Recovery Zone Economic Development funds through the federal Build America Bonds program. This allows the county to receive
a 45% subsidy on the interest paid on the funds. For 2011, we’ve budgeted under a different approach whereby budget expansions for personnel, capital and new projects are set aside in
a contingency fund so that additional review can be completed before taking action and incurring expense. Our general fund contingency for 2011 includes $380,000 in personnel related
items, $200,000 for additional court‐related costs for 2 pending death penalty cases, $200,000 toward the human services initiatives mentioned above, and $380,000 for capital type purchases.
