You have been informed <br />about most of these items at one time or another during the year. State law requires <br />that all expenditures of a fund be covered by an appropriation; and our internal <br />policy goes one step farther and brings that budget level down to the department <br />level. A summary of the budget adjustments, both revenue and expenditure, are <br />listed below: <br /> <br />General Fund Rev Budget Exp Budget <br />Election Hall Rent 4,000 <br />Election Printing & Forms 2,000 <br /> Most of the election costs were for holding the June Fargo School Board election and <br /> were reimbursed by the Fargo School District. <br />Co. Recorder Recording Fees 285,000 <br />Co. Recorder OtherFees 15,000 <br />Co. Recorder Overtime Salaries 10,000 <br />Co. Recorder Temporary Salaries 10,000 <br /> Due to the high volume of documents to be recorded additional overtime and <br /> temporary help was used to keep up with the inflow and reduce the backlog. The <br /> additional costs were more than offset by the added fees. <br />States Atty Temporary Salaries 25,000 <br /> Due to extended absences from the office temporary help was needed to handle the <br /> work flow. <br />Extension Workshops 9,000 6,000 <br /> Additional participants in workshops added to both the workshop income and <br /> expenses. <br /> <br />Total General Fund <br /> <br />309,000 57,000 <br /> <br />Vector Control Fund <br />Charges for Services <br />Temporary Salaries <br />Chemicals <br />Vehicle Maintenance <br />Equipment - Radios <br /> <br />95,OO0 <br /> <br /> 10,000 <br />100,000 <br /> 8,000 <br /> 7,000 <br /> <br />Total Vector Control Fund 95,000 125,000 <br />The additional expense will be covered by existing reserves in the Vector Control <br />Fund. <br /> <br />www. casscountygov, com <br /> <br /> <br />
