Dunn County's Facilities Committee is grappling with a significant budget shortfall as discussions reveal a projected deficit of $45,004.50 for the Fair Board's financials this year. During the recent meeting held on August 13, 2025, committee members reviewed the financial reports, highlighting discrepancies between actual income and budgeted expectations.

The Fair Board's revenue for 2025 is currently at $84,000, starkly lower than the budgeted $164,000. With total expenses projected at $188,000, the committee is concerned about the implications of these figures on future operations. The financial data presented reflects entries in the county's financial system, indicating that while some revenues are expected to come in, they have not yet materialized.

Committee members expressed the need for clarity on the financial situation, questioning whether the shortfall is due to lower income or delayed revenue recognition. The discussion underscored the importance of timely financial reporting and the need for ongoing monitoring as the year progresses.

As the committee moves forward, addressing this budget gap will be crucial for ensuring the sustainability of the Fair Board's activities and maintaining community engagement in future events. The committee plans to continue reviewing financials closely and will seek answers to outstanding questions to better understand the revenue situation.
