On Tuesday, Williamson County Commissioners Court voted to amend parts of its proposed FY 2016-17 budget, bringing the total to about $10 million more than the $282 million originally presented.

After voting to alter the budget during two separate sessions in August, commissioners are proposing a final budget of more than $292 million. The additional $10 million includes $7.7 million dollars in the general fund—used for capital improvement and other projects—and $2 million in the road and bridge fund, specifically for a transportation plan and neighborhood rehabilitation.

Commissioners made several modifications to the general fund, adding over $200,000 for a reorganization in the district attorney's office, including creating three new positions that will not open until January. An additional $7,942 was approved to contribute funding for a position in the mobile outreach department. District court reporters received a 1 percent pay increase that amounts to just under $6,000, and an additional $68,000 was added to create a part-time temporary labor position.

Staff originally presented commissioners with a proposed budget of more than $282 million. It allocated more than $172 million for the general fund—including about $8.8 million for capital projects—and more than $27 million for the road and bridge fund. During the two budget modification voting session, commissioners were allowed to discuss, add and delete items from both funds in the budget.

Earlier this month, commissioners voted to add more than $791,000 to the general fund, including what they expected to be an additional $400,000 for law enforcement pay raises. This brought the proposed budget total to about $283.3 million heading into Tuesday's meeting. However, the amount proposed for law enforcement pay raises was decreased to about $173,000 instead of the projected $400,000.

Commissioners will adopt the final Williamson County budget for FY 2016-17 on Aug. 30 following a public hearing. The meeting starts at 9:30 a.m. at 710 Main St., Georgetown.
