None.                     

 

Summary of Request

With the proposed budget still facing a deficit of $3 million, achieving a balanced budget without relying on one-time funds will necessitate targeted reductions at the office and department levels. Officeholders and department heads, being most familiar with their respective budgets, are best positioned to identify areas where cuts can be made with minimal operational impact. Utilizing their insights, the CEO can present additional budget-balancing recommendations to the Board in June.

Do not approve or take action on another option.
