RBC | County finance director Janae Stanworth delivered some gloomy news to department heads Tuesday about the 2021 budget. Preliminary numbers indicate an 11.5% decrease in revenue due to reduced assessed valuations, primarily tied to oil and gas.
“That’s a little more than $900,000 we’re pretty sure we’re not going to have in 2021,” she said. “We have to decrease our expenses by that amount of money. That’s about 5% of operations [expenses] right now.”
