The first quarter financial report for Juab County was presented to commissioners by Tanielle Callaway, Juab County Clerk/Auditor.

“Two of the pages are receivables and the rest are expenditures,” said Clinton Painter, commissioner. “I appreciate your doing this for us.”

Callaway said that she was glad it had been done because a few errors had been found and corrected.

For some unknown reason, she said, at the Juab County Sheriff’s Office, the K-9 budget was paying for three officers and two of them were not part of the K-9 unit.

“That budget was 70 percent spent,” she said. “It should have only been 25 percent. It has been corrected.”

She said that the election equipment that had been purchased showed up as an expenditure but that the county would be reimbursed for that expense.

“The revenues and expenditures are for the four months ending April 30, 2024,” Callaway said.

Most of the county offices were right where they should be on expenditures, she said. Most were in the 20 to 25 percent of budget spent.

The drug task force was below the expenses expected at 13.3 percent of their budget spent and the DUP Museum had only used 11.4 percent.

Revenues came from taxes, licenses and permits, intergovernmental, charges for services, fines and charges for services, fines and forfeitures, and miscellaneous.

For example, the county fair revenue was expected to be $14,864 but only zero percent had been realized because the event is still to occur. The same was true for Juab County Xtreme Enduro which was expected to be $56,724 but, also because it has not occurred, zero of the revenue had been realized.

The next 25 pages were the expenditures that had been made by the various offices and departments of the county.

“Thirty-three percent of the fiscal year has elapsed,” said Callaway. “You commissioners can take the report home and look through it.”

“This was really helpful,” said Marvin Kenison, commissioner.

Marty Palmer, commission chairman, said that the different offices and departments could tell exactly where they stood.

“We appreciate the hard work that went into producing this,” said Painter. “Thank you for your hard work.”

Callaway said that a similar report would be made each quarter.
