County returns to old
budget class control
The board of supervisors
shifted its method of controlling
“budget expenditures Tuesday,
the second change in the past
few months,
What the board did was return
completely to the system in use
in past years,
That is class. control, which
means department heads are
granted a certain amount of
money for each type of expenditure such as office supplies
and can spend within those limits without regard to whether a
sub item is overexpended.
Earlier in the year, at the
urging of the late Lou Hartman,
the board agreed to switch to
line control during the last three
months of the current fiscal
year, That would have required
transfer requests whenever all
money in a sub category, such
as telephones was used up.
Auditor Controller John T.
Trauner urged return to a class
system completely, saying that
"some line items already are
expended" by the last quarter
of the year.
He said class control is easier
to operate,
Supervisor William Thomas
agreed with this approach, commenting: "I. feel class control
gives what we need for budget
control and gives department
heads the flexibility they need to
operate.” .
However, Supervisor Ralph
Buchanan disagreed, saying "we
have a tight budget and should
be conscious of that all the time,
, We'll have less trouble in the
last three months if we use
caution all along."
However, the vote to return
to class control was 4-1 with
only Buchanan voting no.
Trauner also presented the
board printed copies of the final
It shows the county's budgeted
expenditures for 1969-70 total
$7,066,851.
The budget breaks down into
these categories: :
General, $5,509,610; road,
$1,429,224; promotion, $38,200;
accumulative capital outlay,
$35,293; fish and game, $6,774;
aviation, $47,750.
The county had almost $5
million available to meet these
budgetary needs without property taxes and thus requires
$2,068,703 from property taxes to balance the books this
year. That $2 million is divided
into $1,995,929 from secured
taxes and $72,774 from unsecured.
The county had $645,789 in
fund balances on hand at the beginning of this fiscal year and
will receive an estimated $4,352,359 from sources other than
current property taxes; the budget book shows,
