Administrative pay raises, more revenue from unloading goods, more grass- mowing expenses and hopes for a healthy cash reserve make up the Warren County Port Commission’s budget for 2012-13.

The budget shows $1.8 million in expected revenues — buoyed by a $1.2 million cash reserve — and $879,130 in predicted spending. Expenses include higher state retirement contributions.

Salaries for fiscal 2013 for the commission’s three-person staff are pegged at $215,000, an increase of 4.65 percent. Last year, Warren County supervisors approved 3 percent raises across departments.

“The budget is pretty much in line,” executive director Wayne Mansfield told the panel Monday, adding about $24,000 spent this year to maintain the warehouse that covers the overhead crane at the Port of Vicksburg “has or will be reimbursed” by FEMA. The facilities were damaged in the Mississippi River Flood of 2011.

Grass-cutting expenses at Ceres Research and Industrial Interplex are projected $7,000 higher next fiscal year, to $35,000. The Ceres Plantation House is being taken down, bit by bit, which will create about 40 more acres of open space at the Flowers industrial park.

The commission also is banking on the port being as productive the rest of 2012 as it has been through June.

Steel coils and corn made up 32,046 tons taken off barges for the month. So far, 212,999 tons have been unloaded this year, up 31 percent over what was unloaded for all of fiscal 2011. A deal between DuPont and Kinder Morgan, the port’s contract operator, is expected to keep raw material shipments at the port in high numbers through this fall, Kinder Morgan officials have said.
