Budget Update
Mr Saranich presented the BOE budget to the BOA on Thursday April 4th
The request from the BOE was an increase of $5 million (6%). The Mayor's current proposal is a $1 million increase. The district would need $2.8 million increase to keep status quo.
The next BOE meeting where public comment can be made is Wednesday April 24 at 7:00. I do not know when the BOA meeting where public comment is allowed will be. When I know, I will share with you
