"WE'D LIKE TO be within the

now rests outside the city limits
and would require annexation.
Even if the development starts
as a "county" project, the company's

Auditor's budget starting
county spending process
'Tis the season for Mason County
department heads to submit their
budgetary wish lists. The staff in
the office of Mason County Audi-
tor Karen Herr has compiled and
itemized these budget requests
and submitted a preliminary bud-
get for 2008 to the Mason County
Commission.
Chief accountant Theresia Eh-
rich said that as an added incen-
tive the auditor awarded chocolate
to the four departments which
submitted their requests on time.
For the first time in years, the peo-
ple in the auditor's office haven't
had to forfeit a portion of the La-
bor Day weekend to get the budget
ready.
"This is a big project to accom-
plish in a very short period of
time," Herr told the commission-
ers at last week's meeting.
The preliminary budget pre-
sented in detail all proposed ex-
penditures and all proposed rev-
enues for each department of the
county government. Based on
previous strategic plans and the
community needs they see and be-
lieve should be addressed, officials
of each department indicate an
amount of money needed to fund
programs and services.
Employees in the auditor's of-
fice present this preliminary bud-
get to the commissioners to con-
sider when making final decisions
about the 2008 budget. In addi-
tion to 2008 departmental budget
requests, the preliminary docu-
ment includes actual income and
expenditures for the years 2005,
2006 and 2007. Also itemized and
listed are the 2007 budgets and
any amendments to the current
spending plan approved through
July 31.
As of that date, the current
expense fund 2007 budget with
approved supplemental appro-
priations is $31,348,328. Looking
ahead to 2008, the preliminary
current expense budget revenues
presented with an estimated begin-
ning fund balance is $28,899,819.
This represents an increase of
$2,448,509, or 8 percent from this
year.
The 2008 current expense bud-
get revenues presdnted without
the beginning fund balance are
$1,175,540, or down 4 percent from
this year. The 2008 preliminary
current expense budget expendi-
tures presented with the ending
fund balance is $33,755,280, which
is up $2,406,952 or 8 percent from
this year. Planned expenditures
without the ending fund bal-
ance are $31,226,630, which is up
$2,374,483, or 8 percent.
Commissioner Tim Sheldon
said he would like to discusg ex-
penditures in the office of the Ma-
son County Fire Marshal.
"You guys work really, really
hard and I think very few coun-
ties have the amount of confidence
and the credibility in the amount
of documents that you have," Com-
missioner Lynda Ring-Erickson
told Herr and her staff.
