BOND COUNTY BOARD RECEIVES 2010 AUDIT
The Bond County Board received the 2010 audit report at the Tuesday night meeting and the auditor gave the county a clean report. The audit showed just how much the county had to dig into reserves for 2010. According to the audit, the county had a total income of $3,545,337.00 and a total expenditure of $3,797,441.00 leaving a deficit of $252,104.00 for fiscal year 2010. County government started the fiscal year with a balance of more than 1.5 million dollars in the general fund and that reserve is now at $1,266,133.00. On the income side, sales tax for the county was up from 2009 to 2010 but income tax was down from nearly $700,000.00 to $565,000.00. The auditor pointed out the deficit was actually less than expected in the 2010 budget but the county board will likely have to make difficult choices if revenues continue to lag. The next redistricting committee meeting is Friday at 10:30 a.m. at the courthouse. County chairman Brock Willeford said it’s likely the committee will have a recommendation for the full board to consider after the Friday meeting.
