9:17:38 AM

Discuss Sales Tax and year end projections

County Administrator, Vond Hall, presented several reports to the Board that outlined accounting years 2004, 2005, 2006 & 2007.  This included revenue and expenses by month and year end for their review.

 

Included in discussion was a comparison in the 4 County area of sales tax levied by each county, the year it was imposed and the revenue it generated.  It was noted that the last sales tax increase in Fulton County was in 1987.

 

9:28:35 AM

Discuss Dog License and Pound Fees

County Dog Warden, Pete Skeldon, was present for the discussion.  It was noted that there has not been an increase in license, kennel, and adoption fees since 2004.  In discussing whether or not fees should be increased, Commissioner Short requested a report from the County Auditor, who was also present for the discussion, regarding budget figures for the dog pound for the year before taking action. 

9:37:39 AM

Further Discussion on Sales Tax and year end projections

Administrator Hall addressed the projected end of year figures for 2007 and stated that said figures will depend heavily on how many kids are in custody by the Department of Job and Family Services and expenses associated therein and sales tax revenues collected. 

 

It was noted that the county receives less and less funding from the state and federal level each year and despite drastic budget cuts he anticipates that in FY08, the operating expenses will cause a significant decrease in the general fund, which ultimately decreases the carryover needed to operate the first 3 months of FY09.

 

Further deliberations will be held on this in future session yet to be determined.
