Dave Wesler was absent as budget concerns were once again an issue. As reported last week deficit spending is a concern and it became a topic once again at this meeting. Review File 3. With the jail running at capacity the Sheriff is facing a shortfall to cover meals and the additional expense of medical treatment for an increased amount of drug dependent inmates. The indigent defense fund budgets are about tapped out and it is only July. There is also the concern of another possible Children’s Services expense at the end of the year. Chris Day estimated unexpected and non-budgeted expenses could range from $100,000 – $300,000.
The General Fund Balance over the last several years:
July 8, 2013 Cash Balance – $2,812,304.
July 16, 2012 Cash Balance – $2,869,785.01
July 1, 2011 Cash Balance – $2,479,732.01
