Every dollar Ottawa County’s general fund took in during 2024, and what it paid for. The general fund pays for the county’s day-to-day work; Riverview Nursing Home, the regional water system, the Danbury sewer system and other sewer districts, and the county’s dedicated funds for roads and bridges (gas tax and license fees), developmental disabilities, public assistance and children services; mental health is run by a four-county board run on their own funds and are not in this picture. Ottawa County reports on a cash basis: money received and paid out during the year, including loans between county funds.Cada dólar que recibió el fondo general de el condado de Ottawa en 2024, y en qué se gastó.
