The FY 2004 -05 Approved Budget set aside $25,000 to address employee retention during the 2004 -05 fiscal year.

The FY 2004 -05 original budget included anticipated budget savings of $400,000 from a hiring delay of vacant non - critical County positions.

The FY 2004 -05 original budget for the Efland Sewer Enterprise Fund totaled $85,000, which included a fund balance appropriation from the General Fund of $40,000.

On the other hand, year -end expenditures are expected to exceed the original budget by approximately $57,000.

The revenues from this earmarking are set aside in the County's Register of Deeds Automation Enhancement and Preservation Fund Capital Project. During FY 2004 -05, the department has received additional revenue totaling $104,270 that has been set aside in this Automation Enhancement and Preservation Fund. Also, in FY 2002 -03, the Board of County Commissioners approved as part of an equipment and vehicles financing package, $174,276 for the purchase of computer and imaging equipment within this capital project. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these additional revenues received during FY 2004 -05, and provides for a technical amendment for the receipt of the loan proceeds from FY 2002 -03 as revenue, as well as offsetting expenditures for this equipment.
