Local FY 2012 Budget Hearings

Here is the FY 2012 budget adoption schedule for the Clarke County School District:

Tuesday, 17 May:  Public hearing at Gaines Elementary School (900 Gaines School Road)

Tuesday, 24 May:  Public hearing at Alps Road Elementary School (205 Alps Road)

Thursday, 26 May:  Public hearing at CCSD administrative offices (240 Mitchell Bridge Road)

Thursday, 02 June:  Board of Education agenda-setting meeting at CCSD administrative offices (240 Mitchell Bridge Road)

Thursday, 09 June:  Board of Education regular monthly meeting and final adoption at CCSD administrative offices (240 Mitchell Bridge Road)

All three public hearings are scheduled for 6:00 p.m.; both Board of Education meetings are scheduled for 6:30 p.m.  You can review the CCSD’s “budget overview” (2 pages), “tentative budget” (3 pages), and “tentative budget presentation” (16 slides) – but not the budget in its entirety.

Here is the same information for the Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County:

Thursday, 05 May: Budget review at Bob M. Snipes Water Resource Center (780 Barber Street)

Monday, 09 May:  Budget review and public hearing at the Government Building auditorium (120 Dougherty Street)

Wednesday, 11 May:  Budget review at Bob M. Snipes Water Resource Center (780 Barber Street) – noted to be “if needed”

Tuesday, 07 June:  Regular monthly meeting and final adoption at City Hall Commission Chamber (301 College Avenue)

All three budget review sessions are scheduled for 5:30 p.m.; the Commission’s regular monthly meeting is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.  Note that public comment will not be taken at all of these meetings (I assume that since the proposed budget does not include a millage rate increase and that the value of the property tax digest is expected to be down the “rollback rate” for FY 2012 is lower than for FY 2011 thereby obviating TBOR requirements).  You can review the mayor's recommended budget in its entirety (355 pages).
