The first two annual payments have been made leaving a balance of $1,040,000. The general fund beginning balance for 2015 was $688,000 greater than anticipated. In addition, property tax revenues for 2015 in the general fund are expected to be $400,000 greater than anticipated. This budget adjustment proposes to use these unexpected resources in the general fund to make the final payment on the solid waste loan before the end of the 2015 fiscal year. This action will also allow the the County to close the Jail Capital Project Fund (Fund 456) at the end of 2015 as the project was completed in 2015, Resources in the General Fund have been designated for the repayment of this loan. The budget adjustment above makes the necessary appropriations to complete the loan repayment.
