The remainder of the work session was spent reviewing the remaining thirteen special revenue funds. Also discussed were a 5-year budget for both SPLOST I and SPLOST II. All funds are forecasted to either end FY03 with a net revenue with the exception of SPLOST I and the Jail Surcharge Fund. Both however will have a positive fund balance but the Jail Surcharge fund balance is expected to drop to around $100. The cash flow in the SPLOST II fund will be very “tight” throughout FY03. There is not much room to accommodate budget amendments. The next and probably final budget work session was tentively set for Monday, September 16, 2002. Meeting adjourned at 7:15 p.m.
