Base Budget Discussion
The base budget is the estimated minimum cost for providing continued services/operations for each division/ department. It is based on the prior year approved budget with adjustments. This budget shows how much it would cost in the next fiscal year to operate the same programs in the current fiscal year.
• Base Salary and Fringe Benefit Adjustments – The FY 21 approved budget included a 3% compensation increase in Special Contingencies. These funds were distributed to County divisions off cycle during the budget year. In addition to the 3% compensation increase added to the base budget, the budget
also includes an increase in the unemployment insurance rate from 0.23% to 0.53%. All other fringe benefits rates remain unchanged. Funding is also included to cover a 3% compensation increase, effective July 1, 2021.
Addenda & Reductions Discussion
Addenda consist of dollars over and above the base budget target for operating and capital outlay expenses. Approved addenda items are often funding provided for new initiatives or expanded services but may also include normal cost increases. Addenda reductions may reflect reduced revenue and/or expense needed to equalize revenue shortfalls.
• $84,330 is Added for Software Maintenance Service Contract Increases – Additional funding is added to cover the software license increases for various applications throughout the County. Software contract increases include IAO world ($43,382), Executime ($18,748), Munis ($5,600), and other various software programs ($16,600). • Note: $210,000 is included in the FY 22 capital budget to address future infrastructure issues. These funds are located in the County Capital tab at the end of the budget document.
