From mid-November through mid-December, there will be several town hall meetings conducted by members of the Board of Supervisors, who will be discussing the recent Five-Year Financial Plan – Combined. The plan includes the financial outlook for general government, capital improvements, and schools, and it will be used in the development of the respective budgets beginning next year.
Currently, the projections show an $8.1 million gap for the fiscal year that begins July 1, 2015, and a total gap of $26 million for the full five years. The purpose of the town hall meetings is to hear from you about the strategies that you value and support to address these projected deficits. Some options include the reduction or elimination of services, making adjustments to the tax rate, and considering special tax districts. Your questions and suggestions are encouraged.
