County Announces 5% Cuts for Department Budgets

ALLEN COUNTY, Ind. (Indiana’s NewsCenter) - Allen County department heads heard Wednesday morning that they'll have to slash their budgets by at least five percent for the next fiscal year.

The county budgeting process started Wednesday, and department heads are learning they'll have less revenue to pay for their budgets this year than last, because less is coming into the county's coffers.

So one of the first suggestions county council members had was any openings in a department should remain unfilled.

Allen County Council President (R) Darren Vogt says, “The current discussion is about whether we take $4.5 million out of our Rainy Day Fund. But as we've noticed over the past 5 years, our expenses have increased. So I think we're going to take the approach where we're actually going to cut before we use that Rainy Day Fund. And I think that will be a win for the taxpayer."

Department heads will submit their final budgets for approval in September.
