Financial Impact:
The Adopted Budget serves as the County’s financial blueprint, guiding the allocation of resources to effectively serve the residents of Tehama County. The Adopted budget not only outlines the County’s planned expenditures but also meticulously details the projected sources and amounts of revenue. In essence, the Adopted Budget is instrumental in ensuring the County’s fiscal stability and enabling the delivery of essential services to the community.
Background Information:
On June 25, 2024, the Board approved the FY 2024-25 Recommended Budget. Subsequently, the Administration Department, Auditor-Controller, and all County Departments have diligently amended their budget requests based on information and direction provided by the Board.
Adopted Budget submittals were due on July 12, 2024. Upon consolidation of all reports, additional work was necessary to address a significant budget deficit in the General Fund and Public Safety.
On August 1, 2024, a memo was issued to the General Fund and Public Safety departments requesting a 2.5% budget reduction. The Board’s approval of the reduction was granted on August 27, 2024. These submittals were finalized on August 28, 2024.
These revisions, along with administrative recommendations, are presented today.
As mandated by California Government Code Section 29080 et seq., the Board must conduct a public hearing on the Adopted Budget prior to final determination. The hearing provides an opportunity for public comment on items within the proposed Adopted Budget or for the inclusion of additional items.
The Board has the authority to modify and/or accept the proposed budget revisions as presented. If required, the hearing may be continued from day to day until concluded, not to exceed a total of 14 calendar days.
The County Auditor is scheduled to request formal adoption of the Adopted Budget on September 17, 2024.
