RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT the County's 2015-2016 State Controller's Office Recommended Budget Schedules for Countywide Funds and Special Districts.

FISCAL IMPACT:

These schedules meet the requirements of State law. Specific program recommendations will be presented to the Board during Budget Hearings on April 21, 2015 with final adoption scheduled for May 12, 2015.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Absent a Board-approved budget, County expenditures are not authorized in the coming fiscal year.

BACKGROUND:

State law requires that local government adopt a 2015-2016 Recommended Budget for Countywide funds and Special Districts prior to June 30, 2015 in order to spend monies for the coming fiscal year. State law also requires that the Recommended Budget be adopted prior to holding Budget Hearings. Attached for your consideration are the Recommended Budget schedules as required by state law and regulation, which will serve as a placeholder until the Board approves 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 2015-16 budget.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
