LAKEPORT – The Lake County Board of Supervisors will hold its first discussion on the proposed 2010-11 budget when it meets this Tuesday.


The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday, June 15, in the Board of Supervisors chambers at the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport. TV8 will broadcast the meeting live.


At 10:35 a.m. County Administrative Officer Kelly Cox will present the draft 2010-11 budget to the board, along with a proposed resolution approving position allocations for the upcoming fiscal year and consideration of requests for authorization to purchase certain fixed assets and fill new positions prior to adoption of the budget.


This year's budget includes $185 million in recommended appropriations, $50 million in general fund appropriations and 930 permanent positions, the same as in the current fiscal year, according to Cox's report.


Cox's report explains that the 2010-11 budget is slated to be adopted on Sept. 8, with a public hearing scheduled to consider the document before that time.


Pursuant to the County Budget Act, Cox said that it is necessary for the Board of Supervisors to consider and approve – not adopt – the recommended budget on or before June 30.


“The approved budget will provide the county with the ability to continue conducting business during the period of time between the beginning of the new fiscal year, July 1, and the date on which the budget is adopted in September,” he wrote.


Cox added that, according to state law, the budget must be adopted by no later than Oct. 2.
