Subject:
Discussion and possible action on the 2011-2012 budget
Can community residents attend? Yes; it is an open public meeting. Can community residents speak? That's entirely up to board president John Whalen. He CAN allow people to speak, but does not typically do so.
What will they talk about? They may start off with the same old 30-40 minute slideshow. Hopefully not. Hopefully they'll come out of the gate with their pencils sharpened and in a pork trimming mode. Because there is pork in that thar budget!
Will they make any formal decisions? Possibly, but don't get your hopes up. Historically, these work-study sessions haven't produced any real "motions". It's usually just talk. But at least you can see where things are headed. What does the budget picture look like at present? Glad you asked. By our tally... --->
Why won't they ever give us real numbers. All they ever say is that the tax levy increase will be a certain percentage. What's the dollar amount?
We've included those figure in the graphic at right.
SP-EYE's motion: Update budget parameters to include Budget Initiatives 1 and 2 without adding new FTEs. Tax levy goal of 2.0%; tax levy increase not to exceed 2.5%.
