Auditor to court watch expenses in budget briefing
Val Verde County Auditor Frank Lowe told the Commissioners Court that revenues were 56 percent of budget while expenses stood at 45 percent. He highlighted jail indirect costs with $465,000 budgeted for 2001-2002 but only $82,000 in surplus so far, citing fewer federal prisoners and higher local inmate counts. The county contracts with WCC Corp for jail operations and pays full price for inmates beyond the 60 local cap.
