The FY 2017 general fund budget totaling $71 million was adopted Sept. 20 by the Coweta County Commission. Increases over last year’s budget came from salary adjustments and the rising cost of healthcare for county employees.
Adopted unanimously by commissioners, the FY 2017 shows $71.136 million in revenues. That compares to last year’s general fund budget totaling $69.3 million.
The difference of approximately $1.8 million is due almost exclusively to salary market adjustments and to the 3 percent increase in healthcare costs.
Approximately 70 percent of the budget is related to county employees’ salaries and benefits.
