distributed. She explained how the 2018 revenues were broken down by classification. The overall expenditures
were programed to be$120 million for 2018,which was 24%lower than the 2017 budget; most of the difference
came from fewer capital expenditures. The county was a service driven organization, and as such 50%of the
expenditures went to employees.The budget included a 3%performance based merit for employees who were hired
before October 31,2017. Additional employees added in 2018 were: Four fullOtime detentions deputies in the
Sheriff's Office, a half-time employee in Road and Bridge, a half-time employee in the Sheriff's Office,a half-
