Mahoning commissioners to OK $49.6 million budget
YOUNGSTOWN
The Mahoning County commissioners were expected to adopt a $49.6 million budget this morning for the county’s general fund for 2012.
The general fund is the county’s main operating fund and supports the central functions of county government and the justice system, including the jail, the courts and the prosecutor’s office.
The $49.6 million figure includes an additional $1.7 million in projected revenue certified this month for 2012 by the county budget commission based on increases in sales tax and fee collections, including court fees, in the last quarter of 2011.
However, it does not include a $3.5 million carryover from 2011 to 2012, which is projected by the county auditor’s office.
The budget commission has certified $54.5 million in general fund revenue this year.
