Allen County, OH (WLIO) - Now that budget hearings have been held the Allen County Commissioners are crunching the numbers to come to a balanced budget. They are still waiting for the estimated revenues from the budget commissioner before they can make any final decisions on the budget. Department heads have submitted their requests and now comes the hard part, making sure those requests and the increase in items, like health insurance, and utilities, don't exceed incoming revenue.
“It is a projection on what the dollars are going to be next year,” says Commissioner Cory Noonan. “The major generator of dollars that come in for our operating is sales tax. That's why it's so important to shop here, shop local and spend your money in Allen County.”
Commissioners hope to have a final draft of the budget to present to department heads by mid-December. The budget can't be passed by law until January.
