The North Judson Town Council received a brief presentation from Baker Tilly CPA Jeffrey Weaver when officials held a hearing over the 2020 budget last Monday.
According to the information submitted to the Indiana Gateway for Governmental Units, the town’s total budget estimate is $1,258,740, with $800,460 budgeted in the General Fund.
Weaver provided the council with a brief synopsis of some key budget items and mentioned that while there are particular amounts in certain funds, that doesn’t always mean that’s how much will be spent.
He explained, “I went back and looked at 2018. The General Fund only spent 93 percent of its budget so with that in mind already, the General will probably be looking a little bit better than this.”
Weaver added that after coordinating with Clerk-Treasurer Andrew Rowe, there was a $30,000 capital expense that was previously in the general fund that is now in the County Economic Development Income Tax (CEDIT) Fund.
No questions were provided by council members or citizens during the hearing.
The 2020 Budget will be up for adoption when the council members meet next on Monday, October 7th.
