Committee recommends deficit-free budget

DeKalb County budget and jail plans.  Remember Boone County is counting on revenues from DeKalb County prisoners using Boone County facilities.  FY2011 may really be affected.

An amendment to that eliminated the $1.7 million deficit [in DeKalb County budget] through two measures: The first was transferring everything, or $1.64 million, from the building fund into the general fund.
This amount had been saved to eventually build a new jail. But clearing the fund now makes sense, Hanson said, because the county board recently authorized the jail and courthouse to be expanded through selling bonds rather than saving a little at a time.
