PREVIOUS BOARD/BOARD COMMITTEE ACTIONS:
In January, the Board adopted their 2020 calendar, which provides for several additional Board meetings, intended primarily for budget workshops, with the first being held on March 10th, and the second meeting on May 5, 2020.
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. Data used for this workshop is directly related to the Budget Mid-Year Report presented on March 10, 2020. Staff will provide a presentation on funding priorities, current and emerging initiatives, for consideration in planning the budget for FY 2020-21. Staff will review with the Board their previously developed Budget Goals and Priorities, and may recommend readopting those goals and priorities; discuss investments in facilities, technology, emerging initiatives 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, May 5th was identified on the Board's calendar as a workshop date, which would allow additional or follow-up discussion and direction to staff before the budget is brought to the Board for Budget Hearings on June 9th and 10th.
