Budget Workshop
The County Administrator explained how the budget could be impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Board discussed the upcoming budget with input from the Commissioner of the Revenue, Randy
Williams and Treasurer Alicia McGlothlin. They both were concerned about how a reduction in state
funding cause a budget shortfall.
The Commissioner asked that the Board work with local businesses to make sure they are able to stay
open. He stated that the DMV Select had been very busy as they are one of the only offices open in the
area.
The Treasurer stated that collections were on track with projections at present. She also commented
that we should be responsible with Cares Act funds as this is just a “band aid” and will not be a long-
term solution.
The health insurance fund was also discussed.
