Normally adjustments are only made if the fund and/or department are <br />going to go over their budget in total, normally we do not adjust individual line items <br />when one line item is over budget and another line item is under budget. There are <br />several cases where we need to make adjustments to the 2006 budget: <br /> <br />General Fund: <br />Auditor's Office, Elections Budget: Expenditure Budget <br /> <br />$34,000 <br /> <br />The biggest area of cost increase was in purchasing ballot stock, printing the ballots, <br />and coding (programming) the machines. In these arcas we ran over budget by <br />$28,000. This area is subject to both the cost for individual items and the volume <br />needed to run elections. The other area of increase \vas in printing the legal ads both <br />before the election and the abstract following the election. <br /> <br />County Road Fund: <br /> <br />Revenues Budget <br />Transfer In (Emergency) <br /> <br />$2,322,630 <br />213,000 <br /> <br />Expenditure Budget <br /> <br />$1,784,000 <br /> <br />Both revenues and expenditure budgets need adjustment as a result of the funding <br />process on the County Road 20 Bridge and the FEMA Disaster funding. In both <br />cases the funds were routed through Cass County Government. See the budget <br />memo from Keith Berndt for further details. <br /> <br />States Attorney Asset Forfeiture Fund: Expenditures <br /> <br />$1,500 <br /> <br />We budgeted $10,000 for the county portion of the Drug Attorney Grant, the <br />additional funds were spent on promotional items. The fund has a balance of over <br />$32,000. <br /> <br />Emergency Fund: <br /> <br />Expenditure Budget <br /> <br />5190.000 <br /> <br />The County Commission earlier authorized expending funds for fighting and repair <br />of the flood earlier this year out of the Emergency Fund, at that time since we did not <br />know the dollar amounts of the repairs no budget adjustment was done. The funds <br />will be replaced through a tax levy collected in 2007. <br /> <br />W'RIIli1T <br />
