City of Branson Facing $1.2 Million Budget Deficit

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.
