County Administrative Committee questions special funds: A new discovery? Or something everyone should have known?

The following three special purpose funds, not part of the general county funds, were questioned at last night’s committee meeting. 

 

This fund receives revenue from Circuit Court fees however there are no expenses since December 2008.  These funds may have special use restrictions and spending may be the prerogative of officials other than the county board.

 

This apparently is federally funded from drug seizures.  A sheriff patrol vehicle and equipment were purchased with the funds and the current balance is $69k.

This account is receiving funds from fees from the Circuit Court but no expenses have been charged for the past two years. These funds may have special use restrictions and spending may be the prerogative of officials other than the county board.
