Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
During the FY 2015-16 Budget process the Board of Supervisors directed staff to provide opportunities for earlier and additional input by the Board into the budget preparation process. The Board held three budget workshops in March, April, and May to receive information and provide direction prior to preparation of the budget.
Summary of Request:
The time allotted on the Board’s calendar for a Budget Workshop is intended to provide the Board members input into the preparation of the upcoming County Budget. Staff will provide a presentation on the budget process for FY 2017-18, an overview of sources of revenue and uses of funds, as well as an overview of Net County Cost (NCC) assignments for the upcoming fiscal year. Staff will review with the Board their Budget Development Goals and Priorities from previous years, and recommend re-adopting those goals and priorities; discuss reserve policies and targets; discuss investments in roads, facilities, technology, and special projects; explore ideas from the Board for expenditure reductions, expanded revenue streams, etc.; and discuss other ideas or priorities the Board may wish to consider in preparation of the upcoming budget. Additionally, Human Resources will provide an update on the County’s recruitment and retention efforts. The Board can provide direction for additional workshop topics to be addressed in April and May, before the budget is brought to the Board for Budget Hearings on June 6th and 7th.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Provide alternate direction to staff.
