Balancing the budget and bringing it in under the 2012 adopted budget amounts to a razor thin reduction in the property tax required to balance the budget and does not allow much flexibility. County Administrator Thompson and Finance Director Hansen gave a general overview of the proposed budgets of the Administration Committee’s designated departments, Circuit Court and Clerk of Court. A brief summary of reasons for increases and decreases for each department budget were pointed out which included staff changes, departmental restructuring, fringes, operating expenses and capital items.

The Committee took a brief break at 10:10 a.m. and resumed the meeting at 10:17 a.m. Hansen briefly summarized the total County 2013 budget. Further discussion ensued.
