SIGNIFICANT BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS:
-
A decrease in non-personnel expenses ($2,979) is
primarily due to the removal of Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) expense for
the cost of withholding of automobile registrations for delinquent taxpayers.
-
Revenue increased ($889) primarily due to the FY 2005
cost of living increase approved by the State Compensation Board.
