Franklin County Commissioners will start
their budget process early this year.
The board has scheduled a budget workshop
for April the 22nd so commissioners can get a closer look at what
county departments will need in the next budget year.
The board won’t have all of the figures it
needs to start making decisions because state revenue estimates won’t be in by
that time.
The county revenue numbers will also be
very preliminary, but administrative director Alan Pierce said the property
appraiser’s office is expecting another 3 to 5 percent drop in the county tax
base.
But commissioners said the workshop will
give them a chance to meet with county department heads early to discuss any
major capitol projects like equipment purchases that might come up for the next
budget year.
They will also discuss other major county
expenditures like insurance.
They hope that by holding the early
workshop there won’t be any major surprises during budget negotiations this
summer.
The budget workshop will be held on Monday,
April the 22nd at 10
AM in the main courtroom at the courthouse
in Apaalchicola.
