There are nine line items funded in this budget. All such increases are appropriated from dedicated funds. The first line item replaces the commission’s antiquated backup tape library. The second covers the increased cost of software maintenance for the GenTax data system. The third provides the commission’s collections staff with more modern, efficient equipment. The fourth improves the commission’s ability to safeguard sensitive, electronically stored taxpayer information. The fifth replaces contract employees with three full-time positions, for a General Fund savings of $66,000. The sixth provides funding for the commission’s main copier lease. The seventh purchases training equipment for seminars that the commission offers to county personnel. The eighth covers the commission’s cost of collecting the local option Sales Tax in Nez Perce County. The ninth provides spending authority for the commission’s cost of administering a new income tax check-off.
