Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The Board adopts its annual meeting calendar in the Fall of each year to allow sufficient time for other committees and commissions, on which Board members serve, to adopt their respective calendars.
Resolution 048-2019 set 9:00 A.M. as the begin time for all remaining regular meetings of the Board of Supervisors for 2019, thereby amending Resolution 230-2018. The recommended calendar proposes to continue the begin time for all regular meetings of the Board of Supervisors at 9:00 A.M.
The Master Budget Calendar guides the timeline for the development of the Recommended and Adopted Budgets, as well as the close-out of the prior year. In recent years, the Chief Administrative Office has included additional meetings to ensure adequate and timely communication of budget requests and major policy and funding issues to and between County Departments, the Chief Administrative Office, and the Board of Supervisors. These meetings are scheduled again for the FY 2027-28 budget development process, as highlighted below:
Special Meeting for Board Direction on the Recommended Budget
A special meeting of the Board of Supervisors is held to discuss the progress on the development of the Recommended Budget and seek further guidance, as necessary, on Board priorities for funding. This meeting is proposed for April 20, 2027, subject to the Board's approval of the 2027 meeting calendar referenced above.
Publication and Approval
It is anticipated that the Recommended Budget will be publicly available on or before May 28, 2027. The Recommended Budget is required to be made available to the public at least 10 days prior to the Budget Hearing, which is proposed for June 8, 2027. The Recommended Budget is required by statute to be approved on or before June 30th of each year.
It will still be necessary for staff to bring year-end fund balance adjustments to the Board for consideration and approval in September, following the close of the FY 2026-27 financial records. These adjustments, along with any other necessary changes, comprise the "Adopted Budget", which must be adopted by October 2nd, per statute.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board may modify the proposed calendar and/or meeting start times and may direct staff to take other action.
