They just released the county budget this week for the next year with plans for increased revenues.
Marion County Clerk Valerie Dornberger said increased spending at local businesses helped boost sales tax revenue and now that boost is helping them prepare for any future unexpected costs. You never know what s going to hit and you need to be able to have funding available in case you need it for those types of things you don t foresee, Dornberger said. We re basically just going to follow our normal budgeting and keep that money aside to help with emergencies.
County Clerk Valerie Dornberger said that county officials were focused on the budget last week.
As a COVID precaution the county commission is not meeting in person with elected officials and department supervisors during budget work sessions. Instead the commissioners and Dornberger will review all budget requests and contact each official by telephone if necessary.
Dornberger anticipates that the 2021 budget will be up for approval on Monday, Jan. 25, when the commission is scheduled to meet at the county courthouse in Palmyra.
