Final Budget Workshops for Placer County

The Placer County Board of Supervisors will hold a final series of budget workshops Thursday and Friday in preparation for a adopting a final 2011-12 budget next month.

Both workshops will be take place at 9 a.m. in the Board of Supervisors Chambers at the County Administrative Center, 175 Fulweiler Ave. in Auburn.

During the workshops, the county budget team will give board members an overview of the remaining fiscal issues facing the county, departments will make presentations on their operations and the board will provide direction on key policy issues so staff can proceed with drafting a final budget.

 Placer County develops its budget in two phases each fiscal year.

On June 7, the board adopted a $720 million proposed budget so the county had a spending plan in place when the 2011-12 fiscal year began July 1. The proposed budget is down 4.9 percent from the county's final 2010-11 budget because of revenue losses caused by the economic slowdown and state budget crisis.

At this week's workshops, board members will receive revenue and expenditure projections that have been updated to include year-end figures from the county's 2010-11 budget, new estimates of income expected from property taxes and other sources, and the latest information on state and federal budget impacts.  

The two-phase approach allows Placer County to wait until September to adopt a final budget that includes the updated revenue and expenditure estimates.

The board's 2011-12 budget discussions began in February. Board members have set aside time at its regular Aug. 23 meeting to consider any budget issues that remain after this week's workshops.  

At a regularly scheduled meeting on Aug. 9, board members got a clearer picture of the budget challenges created by a state-mandated realignment program that will shift responsibility for many adult parolees and criminal offenders from the state to counties beginning this fall.
