Commissioner Tony Amadio returned to the court house after being confined to his home after back surgery. Amadio is still in recovery and has not been released from doctor’s care. Commissioners received an eight page report from acting financial administrator Corey Trautman of Susquehanna Accounting and Consulting of Harrisburg. Trautman had no specifics on the 2019 budget but at this point, says the county is on line to end the year without a deficit. Trautman says Susquehanna has worked roughly half of the 40 thousand dollars contracted for county financial work.

Commissioners chairman Dan Camp says the county had 90 thousand to spend on financial work. That’s the amount leftover from the terminated contract of Ricardo Luckow. Camp acknowledged Susquehanna may be paid more than the original agreement.

Trautman still projects October 19 as the target date to complete the 2019 budget. September 14 is the deadline for meeting with department heads. At present, Trautman doesn’t know how much cash on hand the county has although commissioner Sandie Egley pegged that figure at 21 million.

Commissioners will meet in special session at 6 pm Thursday in the second floor juror’s lounge to present the state funded PFM report to citizens and answer their qcuestions.
