Board of County Commissioners December 9,2005 Page 2 County Sheriff - Detention Center (Revenues and Expenditures) $30,000 We need to adjust both Prisoner Boarding Revenue and Hourly Salaries by the above amount. The additional revenue is because the use of the Detention Center was higher that anticipated at budget time. The additional salaries are because of an error in budgeting. Total General Fund Revenue Adjustments Total General Fund Expenditure Adjustments $90,000 $155,000 Overall, the General Fund is going to end the year with more in reserves than we had projected when we prepared the 2006 budget. In January, when we have a better handle on our ending balance, we will report to the Commission on the year end results. County Highway Fund (Revenues) $430,000 (Expenditures) $1,125,000 These are substantial adjustments for the County Highway Department Budget and some explanation is required. The department does a lot of projects and each year the budget is built on what funds are available, how much progress is going to be made on a project in a given year, and how funding for that project is going to flow through the county records. A large part of both the increased revenues and expenditures is the way the County Road 20 funding is flowing through the county records. The project was budgeted with the state paying the contracts and the county simply paying their 20% of the project costs. Instead, Clay County is paying 100% of the project. Cass County is then paying Clay County for 50% of the bridge costs and 100% of the ND share of the approach roadway. The county then bills 80% of the county costs on the bridge to the State and 10% to the City of Fargo. The City of Fargo is also billed 50% of the county costs for the approach roadway. The other part of the increased expenses is engineering and right of way costs associated with current and future projects. The County Highway Department has sufficient cash to operate and some of this is just timing issues related to completion of projects. States Attorney Asset Forfeiture Fund(Revenues and Expenditures) $7,000 We need to adjust both the revenue and expense line items for the additional revenue taken in for forfeitures and additional expenses of the fund. Weed Control Fund (Revenues and Expenditures) $50,000 Again in the Weed Fund, we need to adjust both the revenues and expenditure line items. The department did more contract spraying for the state and sold some surplus equipment.
