What the County has done to save money
-
Eliminate 15 positions, most from public safety, saving nearly
$1.6 million per year.
-
Directed departments to cut additional operating costs.
-
Used one-time federal ARPA funds to temporarily balance budgets
without raising taxes.
Before proposing any tax increase, the County took serious steps to
control costs and reduce the impact on taxpayers. These actions have
helped, but they aren’t enough to close the gap between
ongoing costs and ongoing revenue.
