2009 COOPER COUNTY BUDGET

 

A public hearing convened January 29, 2009 at 1:30 p.m. in the Cooper County Commissioner's office on the topic of the 2009 Cooper County Budget. Those in attendance were Eddie Brickner, Presiding Commissioner, Paul Davis, Eastern District Commissioner, Ernie Walther, Western District Commissioner, Darryl Kempf, County Clerk, Dane Gregg, KWRT Radio, Nadalie Truex, Boonville Daily News and Cooper County Sheriff, Jerry Wolfe.

 

County Clerk Darryl Kempf gave a brief overview of the proposed budget. The budget is comprised of 27 Funds with 6 of those characterized as the major funds. The overall year-end fund balance of these 27 funds combined was $2,640,050.84. With estimated revenues of 6 million dollars it is anticipated Cooper County will have 8.7 million dollars in available resources for 2009. This budge has just fewer than 7.5 million in approved expenditures. If the total budgeted expenditures were used, there is a projected carryover of 1.2 million dollars. It is imperative that all office holders and administrators monitor these numerous county funds.

 

 

Law Enforcement Center Fund

 

The most significant concern in the County 2009 Budget is the cost of the operation of the Law Enforcement Center.

 

In 2007 the Law Enforcement Center required $78,000 more in expenditures to operate than revenues that were brought in.

 

In 2008 the Law Enforcement Center required $100,000 more in expenditures to operate than revenues brought in.

 

In the 2009 Law Enforcement Center budget expenditures were cut to bare bones and yet it is anticipated that the required expenditures in 2009 will exceed revenues by even more. In 2009 it is estimated that expenditures will exceed revenues by $200,000, leaving a fund balances of only $20,000 by year-end December 31, 2009

 

Presiding Commissioner, Eddie Brickner stated the Commissioners worked diligently together to prepare the budgeted.

 

Presiding Brickner Eddie called for a motion to approve the Cooper County 2009 Budget.
