This budget represents a 4.81% <br />increase over the previous fiscal year budget of $1,055,644. <br />This budget increase reflects: <br />• $12,500 in maintenance costs for annual laser fiche software maintenance, which equates to 1.18% of overall <br />budget increase <br />• Pay increase of 2.5% for employees <br />• <br />Attached are the Clerk's budget summary comparison and proposed salaries by position title. <br />Although mandated by the State courts to replace our IT hardware and software and pay annual maintenance and IT <br />staffing, we did not request funding from the Board. We continue to fund the courthouse IT Department and upgrades <br />and maintenance of hardware and software from recording fees in the various special revenue funds. These funds <br />have significantly depleted over the past several years and we may find the need to request financial assistance within <br />the next 3 years. <br />Should you or any member of the Board have any questions regarding my proposed budget, please let me know. <br />Sincerely, <br />CPid-rG G i -z , 6627-i <br />R. gn4ith, CPA, CGFO, CGMA <br />Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller <br />cc: Jason Brown, County Administrator <br />Kristin Daniels, Budget Director <br />Elissa Nagy, Finance Director <br />• <br />5 <br />
