Analysis
When I first took office in January
2021, one initiative I wanted to accomplish in the first half of the year
was to have an analysis of our financial health. We worked for several
months in early 2021 with the Office
of the Internal County Auditor to
complete an independent financial
analysis. It was published in June.
The findings were not surprising.
Bottom line: Our budget is tied to
the County’s financial health, and
personnel costs make up the most
significant part of our budget, which
is to be expected in a 24/7 operation.
Personnel costs will always be our
greatest financial investment.
I believe the report will help taxpayers understand how their dollars
are used by our office. With this
information, we now have a baseline
to understand financial trends in our
operations as the County grows and
demands for public-safety services
increase.
