The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday, June 14, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport. TV8 will broadcast the meeting live.
The budget discussion is untimed.
A memorandum to the board from County Administrative Officer Kelly Cox said the budget has been prepared in compliance with the County Budget Act, which requires the supervisor to approve – not adopt – a budget no later than June 30.
Although a day of budget hearings is planned for Sept. 7, Cox reported that the county hopes to be able to conduct budget hearings and adopt the final budget prior to the end of August – provided the state budget is adopted in a timely manner.
Cox's report explains that the recommended budget appropriations total $185,202,064, down from last year's total of $189,759,308.
Proposed general fund appropriations total $52,130,249 for fiscal year 2011-12, down slightly from the $52,945,237 in the 2010-11 budget, Cox reported.
He attributed much of the reduction in the budget's bottom line number to the completion of one-time storm damage repairs and stimulus projects in last year's Road Division budget.
Developing a responsible and sustainable budget, minimizing negative impacts on service levels, preserving the county's general reserve, and avoiding hurting county employees and the local economy through large numbers of layoffs, work furloughs or compensation cuts were among the goals that influenced the crafting of the budget, Cox said.
“All of these goals have been achieved in the Recommended Budget, although it was definitely not an easy task to do so this year and has required an extraordinary amount of work, cooperation and teamwork between County department heads and the County Administrative Office,” he wrote.
In other board business on Tuesday, Supervisor Denise Rushing will take to the board a discussion regarding committee objectives and board member participation on the Sheriff’s Office of Quality Assurance Advisory Committee. The item is untimed.
The board has two closed sessions on the agenda. One, scheduled for 1:30 p.m., is for conference regarding labor talks with the Lake County Employees Association, Lake County Deputy Sheriff's Association, Lake County Correctional Officer's Association and Lake County Deputy District Attorneys' Association.
