Budget

Mr. Austin shared that the FY2020-2021 levy is flat. The finance committee accomplished several wins this year including solving the ambulance deficit that had been building. He did warn that the County may need a cash flow loan one more year, but hopefully by next year a 2-month reserve will be built and that won’t be needed. Those are goals that will be set for next year’s budget.

Mr. Hoskins reported that property & casualty increased by 10%, and the county’s loss ratio for workers comp is #6 with on the CIRMA policy. The county should look into occupational health training for the departments that are seeing the most claims.

Mr. Hoskins made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Mr. Obert seconded the motion. Mr. Austin adjourned the meeting at 7:18 p.m.
