Legislature’s Audit and Control Chair Addresses Shortfalls in 2017 Budget

March 29, 2018 By WRFA Radio Leave a Comment

County Legislator Pierre Chagnon during the March 28, 2018 Chautauqua County Legislature meeting.

MAYVILLE – The chair of the Chautauqua County Legislature’s Audit and Control Committee chairman spent time Wednesday night commenting on several budget shortfalls for 2017.

It was reported last week that the county closed out the 2017 budget by balancing it with an additional $6.3 million in fund balance. The resolution authorizing that reconciliation was acted on by the full legislature on Wednesday night.

Audit and Control committee chair and legislator Pierre Chagnon (R-Bemus Point) informed his colleagues the committee has identified the primary reasons for the shortfall and will be working to address them so that there can be more accurate budgeting in the future.

Specifically, he said the committee will focus on the county fly car system, energy generation at the county landfill, the county sheriff’s office and the county jail, as well as the public defenders office. Chagnon also pointed to state issues that created challenges in the budget, including the failure  of the state to share revenue from the tribal compact because of the Seneca Nation’s unwillingness to pay the state revenue from its casino.
