During the regular meeting of the Guthrie County Board of Supervisors on Thursday, Feb. 13, the supervisors heard budget presentations from two department heads.
County Attorney Dana Minteer highlighted the budgetary line items with changes from the previous budget.
Regarding the revenue from the county’s collections program, Minteer explained her projection.
“I have an estimate at the end of the fiscal year that the portion going to my office would be about $9,000,” she said.
Supervisor Mike Dickson questioned that number, noting that the current fiscal year has seen only $3,053 in such revenue so far.
“So, $9,000 would be a stretch,” Dickson said.
The consensus was that $6,000 would be a more realistic projection.
Conservation Director Brad Halterman explained the Conservation Board’s budget projections.
The Conservation Board approves the budget to be sent over here to you guys, so it definitely is not something that’s just thrown together at the last minute. It’s a lot of discussion and good back and forth that takes place,” he said.
Following the budget discussions, Dickson reported that the recent Farm Bureau meeting went well. He said that County Engineer Josh Sebern attended and answered many questions related to county roads.
