Recommended Action/Motion:
recommendation
Adopt budget cuts in the amount of $20,500 from the line items to the Board of Supervisors’ budget including $4,500 from Special Department Expense, $3,500 from Education/Training, $1,500 from Transportation In-County, $6,000 from Travel Out-of-County, $4,000 from Communications, and $1,000 from Office Expense.

Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
Board adopted a balanced budget plan on June 24, 2025 which included $6 million in departmental cuts.
Summary of Request:
In June 2025, the Board adopted a balanced budget plan requiring $6 million in departmental cuts. Supervisor Haschak has repeatedly proposed reductions to the Supervisors’ own budget, which were previously not adopted. In May, the Board approved a proposal from Supervisors Williams and Haschak directing all departments, including the Board, to submit 6% budget reduction plans.
The anticipated vacancy savings to the Board’s budget equals approximately $53,371. Unlike other departments, anticipated vacancy savings are not available for the Board. $20,500 in savings must therefore come from:
Special Department expense: $4,500
Education/Training: $3,500
Transportation In-County: $1,500
Travel Out-of-County: $6,000
Communications: $4,000
Office Expense: $1,000
Although modest in scale, these reductions offer the Board an opportunity to lead by example in addressing the County’s financial challenges.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Provide alternative direction to staff.
