Chief Administrative Office recommending the Board receive and file the Fiscal Year 2017/18 Master Budget Calendar.
Body
DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
The Chief Administrative Office is recommending that the Board receive and file the FY 2017-18 Master Budget Calendar.
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The FY 2017-18 Master Calendar guides the timeline for development of the Recommended and Final Budgets, as well as the close-out of the prior year. For the FY 2017-18 budget development, the CAO has included additional meeting times 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. This year, the CAO is asking that Departments submit completed budget requests on March 6, 2017; approximately one month earlier than the prior year. Additionally, a Board of Supervisors Budget Workshop has been scheduled (and is included in the adopted Board of Supervisors meeting calendar) for April 24 and 26, 2017. It is anticipated that the Recommended Budget will be publicly available on May 26, 2017, and will be considered for approval by the Board on June 20, 2017.
