Authorized FTEs 29.0 27.0 27.0
Funded FTEs 27.0 27.0 27.0

SIGNIFICANT BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Increase in non-personnel ($47,001) is the result of inflationary increases associated with maintenance and service contracts.
  • Increase in Intra-County charges is primarily due to using charge-backs rather than direct charges for costs of maintenance and repair requests by County agencies. Using the charge-back method facilitates capturing the full cost associated with maintaining and repairing county facilities
  • Increased fees result from increased court fees received from the state ($3,000).
