2008 Adopted Budget

The County Auditor has posted online the final adopted 2008 budget. This budget reflects the Public Hearing budget discussed at the County Council meeting on December 11, as amended by the Solid Waste rate increase and a few other last-minute additions and deletions.

2008 Public Hearing Budget

The updated budget is now posted online. This version reflects changes which have been made since the preliminary budget was published, up through and including the Council’s recommendations of Tuesday, December 4. This is the budget which will be considered for adoption at the Council’s next regular meeting, on Tuesday, December 11, from 2 to 4 pm.

There are 6 budgets reports available. The first is called “2008 County-Wide Public Hearing Expenditures”. This report lists the detail of all expenditures in the 2008 Public Hearing county budget, subtotaled by department and by fund, and compared to 2006 actuals and 2007 budget. This report is a little confusing to read, as many of the account numbers have been changed in order to bring them more into line with state account numbering guidelines. If a line item has entries in 2006 and 2007, but nothing in 2008, it is probably listed elsewhere with a different account number. Similarly, if an item is listed in 2008 with no entries in 2006 or 2007, it probably has a new account number. Please look elsewhere in the department or fund for the same account title. If you have specific questions about any funds, departments, or accounts, please contact the Auditor, Milene Henley, at 370-7558, or mileneh@co.san-juan.wa.us.

The next 3 reports are revenue reports. “2008 County-Wide Public Hearing Revenues by Type” gives a detailed listing of revenues sources, subtotaled by type, for the entire county. “2008 County-Wide Public Hearing Revenues by Fund, by Type” gives the same information, subtotaled by fund.

“2008 County-Wide Grants & Other Non-Revenues” summarizes just the cash, grants, donations & transfers portion of the 2006, 2007, & 2008 revenues. This report is intended to answer the question, raised at the meeting on December 4, about how much money we receive in grants. It also shows that $6 million of our $9 million increase from 2007 to 2008 is attributable to cash, grants & transfers.

Finally, because there has been much interest in the Stormwater funds, two Budget Summaries are included—one for Stormwater Utility Fund and one for Stormwater Capital Fund—which compare the 2008 preliminary budget with the 2008 current, post-election, Public Hearing budget.
