PRESENTATION

10.A. Finance Department FY2026 Budget Presentation

Jennifer Sinn, Deputy Chief Financial Officer, provided a brief overview of the Finance

Department's and Tort Liability's FY2026 budget request. The Finance Department helps the

County Board, Elected Officials, Executive Staff, and Departments. The Department assists with

budget, procurement, accounts payable, auditing, grants, accounting, risk management, and the

mailroom. In addition, the Department performs long-term financial planning, forecasts revenues

and expenses, and manages the County-wide financial systems including the OpenGov budget

system, the Infor ERP accounting system, and the MHC invoicing system. The Department is

funded by overall General Fund revenues. The Department has taken a conservative approach to

spending in FY2026, with a budget request that is only 1.5% higher than the FY2025 current

budget. Committee members appreciated the presentation's layout and clear information, along

with the budget to actual information. All Elected Officials and Departments have been asked to

present their FY2026 budget requests to the Finance Committee.
