Notes  1. Where the 2015 Actual column is blank, it is because the County’s accounting  software subsumed the figure in a broader category. For example, “Printing” and  “Marketing” were combined. An additional result of this is that the column “Delta to  2015 Actual” does not total. This anomaly has been corrected for the 2016 budget  year.  2. Automation expenses include new costs for filtering software and payments to the  Improvement Authority for the new equipment required system wide.  3. Municipal payments are reduced in 2016 as a result of a lower assessment by the  Township of Bridgewater.
