8 <br />In 1996-97, Rowan County received $135,144 from facilities' fees and interest <br />while expending over $1,161, 314 in costs, resulting in a cost to revenue ratio of 8.6 <br />to 1. Obviously, counties can't expect an event 1 to 1 ratio; however, counties can't <br />continue to increase spending at this rate without consideration of increasing the <br />fees that are paid by the defendants in the judicial system. <br />The Board of Commissioners hopes that your County Board will concur with <br />our effort by enacting a similar Resolution, and by seeking the assistance of your <br />legislative delegation to actively support his proposed legislation to increase the <br />"facilities fees" and "officer fees" under G.S. 7A to provide counties with additional <br />funds to operate the judicial system. If we can provide additional information, <br />please let us know. <br />'ncerely, <br />es B. Neely, Chairman <br />Attachment <br />
