During Wednesday's Sedgwick County Commission meeting, the board learned more about the county's finances during the first quarter of 2022.
Brent Shelton, Deputy Chief Financial Officer, stated that for the first three months of the year the county's fiscal condition remains in sound shape. He pointed to a tax base growth of 3.6%, healthy fund balances, continued revenue growth and a strong real estate market.
The 2022 outlook for the county is highlighted by challenges with inflation, workforce shortages, a tough insurance market and rising interest rates.
