BCC departments represent 20.1% of the total General Fund budget. <br />Constitutional Officers' budgets represent 64.4% of the total budget. <br />The countywide tax roll has increased 5.19% from last year. New construction added 1.67% while <br />existing values increased 3.52%. This provides additional revenue of approximately $3.4 million for the <br />General Fund, assuming 95% collections and the proposed millage rate. The millage rate to fund the <br />recommended General Fund budget is 3.5475 which is unchanged from last fiscal year. <br />The Clerk of the Circuit Court has requested a $25,789 or 2.12% increase from the current year's <br />budget. The budget request includes a 3% pay increase for employees. The request also includes an <br />additional 0.35 FT positions. <br />The Sheriff's Office initially requested a budget increase of $3.6 million or 6.2% from the current year. <br />After the preliminary taxroll was released, staff met with the Sheriff in an effort to arrive at a budget that <br />could be supported by the current millage rate. The Sheriff and County staff have agreed to a revised <br />budget of $60,003,897 which is an increase of $2.9 million or 5.1 % over the current year's budget. The <br />request includes an additional 8 FT employees. The request does not include the 25% portion of the <br />additional 9 positions that are being applied for under the Community Oriented Policing Services <br />(C.O.P.S.) Hiring Program Grant. If the grant is approved, a budget amendment may be necessary to <br />fund the shortfall. In addition, $815,155 in Optional Sales Tax is being used to fund replacement <br />vehicles in the Sheriff's FY 2021/22 budget request to further minimize the impact on the ad valorem tax <br />
