The $8.71 million budget for Crittenden Fiscal Court includes no new taxes or fees for county residents, property owners or businesses. And while it does not offer county employees a raise, it does allow for an increased contribution to health care benefits to help offset premium increases.
The county anticipates $1.02 million in general fund receipts. Of that amount, $385,000 is expected from taxes on real property and another $350,000 from an occupational and net profits tax.
The largest single expenditure from the general fund is $150,000 to subsidize Crittenden Health Systems’ ambulance service. General fund expenses planned for the fiscal year that starts July 1 is less than $2,500 more than in the current fiscal year.
The county is currently operating on a $8.24 million budget. Most of next year’s increased expenditures is related to an anticipated $400,000 grant for building repairs to the Ben E. Clement Mineral Museum. If the grant is not received, that amount will simply not be spent. A public hearing to solicit support for the grant application is scheduled for later this month.
