A pre-budget public hearing is scheduled for the Board and staff to receive comments from citizens about the priorities they believe should be considered for our community as the FY 2019 Recommended Budget is being developed.
As part of the September 27 Board item for adoption of the FY 2019 Budget calendar, staff requested via Board Communication (attached) that Board members take the time to prioritize on an individual basis certain items that have potential to affect the FY 2019. These items have been mentioned by Board members or briefed by staff subsequent to adoption of the FY 2018 Budget. Following the pre-budget public hearing, staff will have the combined results of the individual prioritizations available for discussion and will ask the Board to fine-tune the priorities, as necessary, based on any comments from speakers at the public hearing or reconsideration by the Board members.
As we begin the FY 2019 Budget development process, this prioritized listing will be a helpful guide. The County Administrator and staff intend to work as far down the prioritized list as funding exists to do so while preparing the FY 2019 Recommended Budget.
