Prospective View <br /> S� <br /> The County taxroll has begun to increase as the County continues to slowly recover from the <br /> impacts of the Great Recession. The increased taxroll along with moderate increases in other <br /> revenue sources has allowed for the County to increase funding for the planned replacement of <br /> capital assets. This budget also continues a transition away from the use of Optional Sales Tax <br /> dollars to fund replacement fire rescue apparatus and law enforcement vehicles. <br /> While the County's revenues are growing, it is important to note that the economic recovery is still <br /> relatively fragile. It will be necessary to remain vigilant in controlling cost increases going forward. <br /> During the economic downturn the County undertook several measures to streamline the <br /> organization and reduce taxes going forward. We will need to maintain the same vigilance to keep <br /> taxes low going in to the future. <br /> The preceding is intended to provide the Board with a general overview of the most significant <br /> changes in the proposed budget. A more detailed explanation will be provided during the <br /> workshop sessions. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> ./ 4 <br /> ow1Y <br /> Jos h A.
