The Mendocino County Board of Supervisors at its meeting last week received the news that the county ended the 2023-24 fiscal year with an $11.2 million carryforward surplus and a $6.3 million surplus. KZYX reports acting Auditor-Controller Sarah Pierce made the announcement, stating the county’s assets total approximately $45 million, with $25 million in cash, with those numbers being subject to audit. Although the board expressed optimism about the surplus, it was also pointed out that the 2024-25 budget may still need one time funds to reach a balance.
