Scott County officials review projected fund balances as budget work session continues

The Chair said the spreadsheet’s highlighted figures represent expected revenue without touching reserve accounts, noting that “Revenue coming in without using any funds on hand.” The review identified about “1.8” in one column and “1.4” in another in the materials presented to the group, though the document did not specify the monetary units for those figures.

Officials discussed which restricted funds to leave untouched (for example, narcotics and SRO funds) and which to use for current needs, and emphasized that carryover amounts were not included in the presented balances. Staff and committee members agreed to refine the spreadsheet before the next meeting so allocations and the projected year-end balances can be finalized.
