A presentation was given on the audit report for Calvert County by Terry Shannon, Director, Department of Finance and Budget, and auditors John Crawford and Paul Bevard of Murphy & Murphy, CPA, LLC.

Calvert County is in excellent financial condition, with net assets at approximately $166.1 million, which is an increase of $19.1 million from the prior year. The County ended the year with a budgetary surplus of $7.8 million, partly due to strong receipts in recordation taxes and income taxes. The largest primary revenue source is property taxes, with the Board of Education being the largest expense. The fiscal policies and procedures of Calvert County are conservative, with strong internal controls.

Approved the formula for funding annual Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLA) for County employees as presented by the Calvert Employee Representative Committee (CERC), which will use the consumer price index (CPI) covering the period from October 1 through September 30, rounded to the nearest hundredth position, which is the same as the Board of Education’s formula, but without a 3.5% cap.
Approved Gambling Permit Applications for the first quarter of 2006 for American Legion Post #85, American Legion Post #206, American Legion Post #274, Dunkirk Volunteer Fire Department, and Huntingtown Volunteer Fire Department.
Approved the Certification of Development Options application submitted by Young D. Hance and Susan Hance Wells for APD #05-16, allowing for 107 development options.
