This budget represents a 2.1% increase <br />over the previous fiscal year budget of $1,214,565, and includes a 3% pay increase for employees. Attached is the <br />Clerk's budget summary comparison. <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 any such funding from the Board. We continue to fiord the courthouse IT Department <br />and upgrades and maintenance of hardware and software from recording fees in the various special revenue funds. <br />'hese funds have significantly depleted over the past several years and we may find the need to request financial <br />assistance within the next 2-3 years. <br />Should you or any member of the Board have any questions regarding my proposed budget, please let me know. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jeffrey R. Smith, 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 />k, <br />
