Clarification on Inspection Fund

   February 13, 2009

This fund is an Enterprise Account and doesn’t take money from the general fund. It pays for itself with fees.

I received this email:
“Years ago the county raised fees so they could set up a fund in case of an economic downturn. The fund did have over 5 million at one point, but it is serving its purpose by sustaining the department during this slow down. The county, by ordinance, has a Building Inspections Advisory Committee that meets quarterly in the sunshine to review expenditures, etc.”

The unrestricted Cash on Hand for the fund, as of 12/31/08: $1,903,695.

BTW: Cash on Hand for other funds
Solid Waste: $4,980,746
EMS: $564,075
Civic Center: $145,077
