By the end of May, Lincoln County finished 66.66 percent of Fiscal Year 2025 with more than 80 percent of the projected annual revenue collected.

The total expenditures through May were nearly 74 percent of the annual budgeted amounts, Lincoln County Administrator Daniel Calcote told the Board of Supervisors Monday.

“We’re on target here,” he said.

The county’s total budget for the fiscal year is $34,294,231.

Calcote reported District 5 Lincoln County Supervisor Doug Falvey’s road fund was again significantly over budget through May with 86.5 percent spent, but explained it was still due to paving project payments in January and February.

Falvey paid for large paving projects at the beginning of the year “so his budget got frontloaded a good bit, but it’s slowly smoothing out,” Calcote said at a May meeting.
