Sedgwick County's fiscal condition remains sound.
That summary was part of a report presented to the county commission by Brent Shelton, Deputy Chief Financial Officer.
He explained one of the positives the county saw was an increase in property-tax-supported funds during the first three months of the year, to the tune of $6 million. He explained that investment returns were the primary driver for that increase.
Shelton also said inflation has eased a bit and unemployment has held steady. Housing concerns have become a bigger topic around the county, but he said their strong position will help them meet those future challenges.
