City of Branson Facing $1.2 Million Budget Deficit

Wednesday, September 1, 2021 at 9:00 AM

The finance department for the city of Branson is working to find ways to trim a projected $1.2 million general fund deficit for the 2022 budget.

Branson Finance Director Jamie Rouch and her staff will be working out the final budget for 2022 during a series of meetings through the end of September.

“Right now, we are not able to balance operations in the general fund,” Rouch told Branson Tri-Lakes News. “We’re still in the budget process, and we still have a couple meetings, so those will all take place before the budget is finalized. But, as of right now, revenues and expenditures have us upside down $1.2 million. We’re not 100% sure how we’re going to handle it.”

Rouch raised the budget’s current state and the possible general fund deficit for 2022 during the city Finance Committee meeting on Aug. 26.

More details on the City of Branson Budget issues can be found with the complete story from the Branson Tri-Lakes News Website.
