Teresa Beckner, Fiscal Director, met with the Board to review the 2019 expense
and revenue budget performance through February, 2019. Ms. Beckner advised that
again this year, the county made a contribution to the HSA plan for all eligible
participating employees. This upfront contribution was properly recorded in February,
but as a result, created a year-to-date variance in expense budgets for most
departments. She continued that consistent with prior years, the impact will be softened
as the year progresses. Risk Management's variance in expenses is due to increased
activity with HIPAA assessments. She continued that general fund expenses are at
16.1 % of budgeted expenses, compared to 15.8% in February 2018. Ms. Beckner said
revenues are 3.3% collected of general fund revenue budget compared to 3.2% last year
which amounts to $1,557,500.00. Ms. Beckner reported that the tax bills for 2019 went
out at the beginning of last month so revenues on the report pertain to prior year
supplemental and interim billings as well as tax claims.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:46 a.m. with a motion by Robert L. Thomas;
seconded by Robert G. Ziobrowski.
