Surplus projections adjust county budget outlook
County officials report property tax revenue near $102.3 million, above Browning’s $100.4 million forecast. They plan to factor 85 percent of that amount into fiscal 1999, about $1.59 million, while income tax receipts could rise by up to $2.7 million beyond the $61.9 million expected. Uncertainty remains due to two large state distributions due in June and August. The commission may budget roughly 40 percent of the estimated average into 1999. Investment earnings are noted but not detailed.
