LAKEPORT, Calif. – This week the Board of Supervisors will meet to discuss and consider adopting the budget for the 2013-14 fiscal year.
The meeting will begin at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 10, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport. It will be broadcast live on TV8.
The board will first hold the budget hearings, to be followed by the regular meeting at 11:30 a.m.
In the budget hearings, which commence at 8:30 a.m., the board will consider the recommended budget, the proposed resolution adopting the budget and a resolution establishing position allocations for the new fiscal year.
According to County Administrative Officer Matt Perry's report to the board, the final recommended budget totals $187,770,437, compared to last year's total of $179,870,780.
Perry said the recommended general fund appropriation is $56,998,843, compared to $56,061,754 last year.
That increase in the general fund, he said, is due to increasing contingencies and special construction and building maintenance projects. Like the general fund, the road, behavioral health and social services funds all are “significantly more” this year than last, Perry reported.
During the regular meeting, in an untimed item, the board will consider a request to award the bid for the construction of the new Clearlake Oaks Senior Center.
The full agenda follows.
