The Fayette County Board approved a draft budget at their monthly meeting on Tuesday night that will now be on display for public viewing. The county has been working with Bellwether Advantage, whom they hired as an administrative consultant for the county, and Cat Lange of Bellwether explained that the county board passing either a barely balanced budget or a deficit budget over the last several years is having an effect on the county’s reserves.
And Lange says they focused this budget on realigning fund, increasing income and cutting expenses.
After discussion and questions were answered by Lange, the board voted 11-0 to approve the draft budget with board members Chad Austin and Mark Isaiah not present for the vote,
