Executive Summary




Meeting Date:
September 22, 2020
Title:
Approval of the FY 2022 Budget Calendar

Type:
Action
Agenda Title:
Approval of the FY 2022 Budget Calendar
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Board approve the attached calendar for the FY 2022 Budget development and adoption process.  
Summary:

Staff requests the Board’s approval of the attached proposed FY 2022 Budget calendar.  Adoption of a budget calendar provides a framework within which staff can reasonably expect to plan its work for the upcoming budget process.  Additionally, adoption of the calendar establishes certain dates that can be communicated to encourage public participation in development of the budget.

 

The budget process will be kicked off with a meeting for departments on September 25.  The CIP development will occur such that the CIP is adopted in December ahead of the budget.

 

Please note that the Schools’ Spring Break (March 15-19) does not impact planned the FY 2022 budget process.  The budget and tax rate public hearings are planned for Tuesday, March 30 at Courtland High School.  Please also note that all dates pertaining to the Schools’ budget are tentative at this time because the School Board has not yet finalized its calendar.
Financial Impact:

Staff Contacts:
Bonnie Jewell, Assistant County Administrator for Finance & Services; and Julie Elliott, Budget Manager 
Additional Background/Other Considerations:

Budget dates for the Schools have not yet been finalized and are tentative pending the School Board’s approval of its FY 2022 Budget calendar.

Consequence of Denial/Inaction:

If the budget calendar is not approved, the Board will need to decide at a later date how to handle the scheduling of necessary budget work sessions and the required public hearing.
