Lewis County Budget

2011 Budget Document is Now Online

The 2011 Budget document has been completed and is available online. In order to reduce costs for this year only a few hard copies were printed.

Some of the improvements to this year’s document include:
An expansion of the Budget Summary section to include the budget purpose, process and policies. The addition of the 2011-2012 budget calendar on pg. 14. Descriptions of the county Financial Structure and Fund Types as well as 2010 Accomplishments and 2011 Goals tied to the updated 2009-2012 Lewis County Strategic Plan. An estimated five year Financial Forecast is included on pg. 53.

For an overview of capital projects for the County please see the Capital Budget on pgs. 231-286. The capital budget describes each capital project that affects the 2011 budget as well as a six-year forecast of revenue sources and capital costs. 

Under Appendix A we've added "What's Happening in Lewis County" pg. 290; "Lewis County Commissioners Committees and Appointments - 2011" pg. 291. Staffing Trends and a listing of staffing changes are included in Appendix B pgs. 298-299.

It is our hope that this document will provide you with insight into how the County is allocating funds and assist in meaningful dialog with your Elected Officials.
