RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT the 2009-2010 Proposed Budget Schedules for Countywide Funds and Special Districts.

FISCAL IMPACT:

These schedules are place holders to meet the requirements of State law. Specific program recommendations will be presented to the Board during Budget Hearings on March 17, 2009 with final adoption scheduled for March 31, 2009.

BACKGROUND:

State law requires that local government adopt a 2009-2010 Proposed Budget for Countywide funds and Special Districts prior to June 30, 2009 in order to spend monies for the coming fiscal year. State law also requires that the Proposed Budget be adopted prior to holding Budget Hearings. Attached for your consideration are the Proposed Budget schedules as required by state law and regulation, which will serve as a placeholder until the Board adopts a Final budget. These schedules are in a state required “line item” format as opposed to the program budget format used by the Board during budget hearings. The schedules incorporate the same total net County cost level as will be presented in the County Administrator’s Recommended Budget.

During the public hearing on the Budget, the Board may make additional adjustments to the schedules presented herein. This recommended action will ensure that your Board will meet the requirements of State law and will in no way constrain your discretion with respect to the FY 2009-10 budget.
