Findley noted there is about $13 million in General County Revenue and that Road and
Bridge Trust is down along with smaller funds however, most are up. Findley further
explained that different departments in General County Revenue would go over, mainly
because of fuel costs.

being timely? Findley clarified that grant money usually comes in the last part of the year

increased price of fuel.
