Background:
Each year the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) prepares a calendar for all budgetary meetings to develop the Alachua County budget. The Calendar sets the dates, time and the topics that will be discussed throughout the budget process. The Board may modify the calendar as needed throughout the process. During the FY17 budget development cycle, the Board requested a shift to meetings earlier in the year to assist in the setting millage. The Calendar and Resolution submitted for approval will allow the BoCC to continue this practice. In addition, the Budget Guidelines will lay the groundwork for the Board of County Commissioners’ (BoCC) input as staff begins budget preparation.
Debt Service, Energy Conservation, Financial Management, Citizen Initiated MSBU, and Public Purpose Policies are unchanged from FY20. Budget Management and Performance Management policies have changes noted in the strike through versions included with the agenda. The Capital Improvement Program policy will be presented for review at a later date.
