Property & liability insurance premiums are increasing at a rate greater than
budgeted in the past two fiscal years; this adjustment will provide a more accurate
baseline for budgeting in future years. Additional costs have been added to the
budget due to builders risk for the new police department. The General Health
Insurance Budget has adequate funds remaining to cover this transfer.

In FY2024, the Health Department was separated from Land Use, Housing and
Development to become a standalone department. This necessitated regrades for
two staff members to reflect increased responsibility; these expenses were not
budgeted. In addition, a part-time temporary employee was paid out of Regular
Wages to support department operations, but was budgeted in Contract Services.
This overage in Health Dept. Personal Services can be covered by a transfer from
Health Dept, Expenses.

The Lexington Compost Facility had another remarkable year, with revenues of over
$920,000, exceeding the projected amount of $875,000. However, this revenue
generates additional expenses, including sales taxes which will result in the fund
