FINANCIAL REPORT
- BUDGET: Since March 10th, the Finance Department and I have conducted at least 16 in person budget meetings covering about 26 county departments/organizations. We have about four remaining departmental meetings. The budget process is on or ahead of schedule.
SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS AND ACTIVITY
- Animal Shelter: The footings are poured and some plumbing has been installed. The contractor is waiting on delivery of the trench drains and then the pad will be poured.

- E911: Regarding last night’s storms, E911 reports “we had no power outages, no trees down and no weather related accidents. Call volume was low with only 99 calls in the 12 hour period.” As always, thanks to all public safety and public works personnel who were prepared to respond to storm conditions, if it had become necessary.
