The primary goal of this quarterly report is <br /> to communicate a concise financial status of the County's major operating funds. <br /> General Fund Performance <br /> The FY2016-17 Budget included a fund balance appropriation of$12.7 million. This portion of fund balance represents <br /> the assigned fund balance.As of the third quarter it is estimated that$1.3 million of the assigned fund balance will be <br /> used to offset lower revenue estimates for Charges for Services and as a means of meeting budgeted expenditures and <br /> transfers out.

Property Tax revenues which were collected between September 1,2016 and January 2017, accounts <br /> for 70% of General Fund revenues.
