County budget talks hinge on courthouse security costs
County officials weigh a 2003 district court budget of 742000 with 105200 for the 25th Judicial District and about 70 percent funded by the county. Sheriff deputies provide courthouse security amid two disorderly conduct incidents and a 10 year old fatality at the vehicle registration office. Finney County Economic Development Corp. requests 72000. Property valuations rely on oil and gas mineral leaseholds and real estate. Roop forecasts a dip in oil and gas appraisals, seeks outside fee appraisals to defend commercial values, and notes state law requires sale prices to align closely with appraised values.
