Open FY2013 budget process starts today; BOC also to meet at 6 p.m. Tuesday

The first open meeting for Barrow County’s FY2013 budget process is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Monday, July 23, in a conference room on the second floor of the government center at 233 E. Broad St. During the meeting county staff and some of the county commissioners will discuss how to close the spending plan's multi-million-dollar funding gap.

Also on Tuesday night, CFO Rose Kisaalita will make a representation to the full Barrow County Board of Commissioners concerning that budget — which must be adopted by the BOC in September — as well as about how well the county staff and elected officials as of June 30 have managed spending in the current fiscal year. The meeting is a work session and will start at 6 p.m., which is an hour earlier than usual. The BOC recently designated the second meeting of each month as a work session and set the new time of 6 p.m.
