Summary
Commissioners warned that pulling $1.6 million from savings this year isn't sustainable, especially with no completed audit in two years to confirm the actual balance. They want to grow jobs and the tax base — including the quarter-cent sales tax — so the county isn't living off its savings.

Impact analysis
Taking $1.6 million out of savings this year would drop the fund balance to about 18% of annual spending.
Everyone benefits if the county keeps a healthy rainy-day fund instead of cutting services or raising rates.
