BACKGROUND: continued
The latest budget estimates, as of early June, indicate that the
County will be facing a budget deficit and that reductions must be
made from the Proposed Budget. Moreover, preliminary information
on the State Budget reveals that the County may be facing a
substantial shortfall in State revenues . Therefore, it is
recommended that each Department prepare a 15% budget reduction
plan, based on net County cost.
Administrator Office staff will be working with Department staff to
develop budget reduction plans over the next three weeks .
Minimizing layoffs and minimizing service disruptions will be the
objectives of the reduction plans . Budget reduction plans will not
be a simple task and many difficult decisions lie ahead.
