These monies will be applied to reduce courthouse bond indebtedness. In planning for the future of the new Courthouse, the Board made a decision for the 2009 budget to reserve any remaining funds in the Courthouse Capital Fund #1700 and designate those funds for future maintenance of the new Courthouse. The FY’10 budget reflects that decision. $500,000 will be designated in the Building & Grounds fund for future courthouse maintenance.

38	"FY’10 Budget Goals" FY’10 Budget Goals: Reduce expenditures to maintain FY’09 levies The Primary goal for the FY 2010 General Funds budget is to maintain the levy at the same rate as the FY’09 levy. The same levy will increase the property tax revenues by $255,983 and will be spread across all properties including the new construction of 198 residential properties. A BIG CONCERN - We will still be deficit spending !!!!!! The Primary goal for the FY 2010 Rural Services budget is also to maintain the levy at the same rate as the FY’09 levy. With the ending fund balance predicted to be 10.79% for FY’09, we were NOT able to reduce expenses enough to bring the FY’10 balance to 25%. Ending fund balance is projected to be a low 16.02%. The Primary goal for the FY 2010 Mental Health fund is to position the County to receive as much State funding as possible without risking service standards to the client.
