Since I am now on the county side of the table and wasn’t in the audience to testify, the Ada County budget hearing was remarkably short! No one from the audience of mostly department heads and other county employees testified.
Thanks in large part to Ada County Clerk Dave Navarro and his Chief Deputy, Chris Rich, the budget process has gone smoothly over the past several months. As of tonight, we have cut nearly $22 million from the proposed fiscal year 2010 Ada County budget.
The current year’s (fiscal year 2009) budget is $193 million. The proposed budget is $171 million. For more specific information, you are welcome to check out the online budget presentation here.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the department head or elected official in charge of the relevant budget item(s).
