Steve Wipperfurth, Finance Director
As of 12/31/2023 As of 12/31/2024 As of 12/31/2025 As of 3/31/2026
Unassigned Fund Balance 27,383,135.48$ 33,441,650.48$ 35,134,303.10$ 19,534,303.10$
Unassigned Fund Balance is designed to serve as a measure of the fund's
financial resources available for appropriation and has a direct impact on
bond ratings and borrowing power of the county.
Current Unassigned Fund Balance 19,534,303.10$
General Fund Budgeted Expenditures - 2026 59,074,587.00$
All Other Budgeted Funds Requiring Tax Levy - 2026 28,475,111.00$
The County's current unassigned fund balance of 19,534,303.10$ represents approximately 22.31224%
of its governmental funds budgeted expenditures. This level of funding is above the
the 12%-15% reserve funding levels set forth in Resolution 72-03 adopted August 26, 2003.
From the policy: 12% is the base per County Board Policy at which point the County would never
want to let the unassigned fund balance reserved for working capital go below.
Note:
The amount above (below) the upper limit of 15% which, if above, could
be a consideration for unforeseen expenditures 6,401,848.40$
15% Upper Limit would equate to an unassigned fund balance of 13,132,454.70$
12% Lower Limit would equate to an unassigned fund balance of 10,505,963.76$

RE: Safety Team Request
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Background
The County recently completed a safety assessment conducted by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Security Agency (CISA), a division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Following receipt of the
report, an internal safety team convened to review the findings and recommendations.
The assessment identified recommendations in three primary areas: policy, training, and physical
security improvements. The policy and training components have been addressed. The County Board
approved the Emergency Action Plan, and training will be implemented and maintained on an annual basis.
The remaining recommendations relate to physical security improvements. These have been categorized
into items that can be completed if funding is available and items requiring further review and financial
support from the County Board.
Analysis:
Based on the assessment and the internal team’s review, the following items are presented for
consideration:
1. Building Security Upgrade — $10,500
Upgrade to the door access control software. The current system does not allow buildings to be
managed independently. This upgrade will enable individual building control.
2. Emergency Services Building Mapping — $15,105
Implementation of software to map three County facilities for use by emergency responders. This tool
enhances response effectiveness during emergencies or threats.
3. Justice Center – Additional Door Controls — $5,000
Installation of additional door control systems at the Justice Center to improve access management
and overall security.
4. Government Center – Customer Access Improvements - $20,000
The assessment identified that the Government Center does not meet current best practices for
secure public interaction. The building was originally designed to allow customers direct access into
office spaces, whereas modern standards prioritize separation between public and staff areas.
The Government Center houses 12 departments that could benefit from redesigned customer service
areas. Due to the complexity and potential cost variations, it is recommended that an architect be
engaged to develop design options. These options would be reviewed by the Committee and may be
incorporated into the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for 2027.
