These <br />funds have significantly depleted over the past several years and we may find the need to request financial assistance <br />in the upcoming years. <br />Should you or any member of the Board have any questions regarding my proposed budget, please let me know. <br />erely, <br />effr , CPA, CGFO, CIGMA <br />erk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller <br />cc: Jason Brown, County Administrator <br />Mike Smykowski, Budget Director <br />Elissa Nagy, Finance Director <br />5 <br />
