Cabell County Officials Discuss Fiscal Budget
WEST VIRGINIA....
The Cabell County Commission met Friday with elected officials to discuss their fiscal year 2010-2011 budgets. County Clerk Karen Cole, Assessor Ottie Adkins and Circuit Clerk Adell Chandler presented their budgets and requested $2,000 pay raises for each of their 58 full-time employees, while Sheriff Tom McComas and Prosecuting Attorney Chris Chiles will present their budgets on Thursday, March 18th. County manager Stephen Zoeller says he projects the commission will have an unencumbered balance of $1.626 million with more than $659,000 suggested to be budgeted for capital improvements. The total amount requested by all five elected officials is $1.029 million for the next fiscal year. Zoeller says it's not possible to fund all the necessary capital improvements and the requests by elected officials. He says pay raises are sometimes difficult to come by in a tight budget, and, while pay raises are always something everyone wants, it's not always something everyone gets.
