It is taken some time, but board action will now be known to the public before the regular county board meeting. Here are the motions for the March 18 meeting they were posted March 13, 2009.
First, are the motions for the Finance Committee. Apparently the budget is being amended—see Note on March 10, 2009 version of the FY 2009 Expenditure and Revenue Plan for the General Fund. If anyone attended this meeting and has some insight it would be greatly appreciated. I hope to obtain a copy of the March 10 plan and publish it.
As far as the bond abatements, Ordinance # 09-10, 09-11, 09-12, these bond issues are technically supported by real estate taxes. Because these referenda and various board actions promised that the bonds be paid by special sales taxes and other sources, the board does not levy these taxes (it “abates” them). The real question is will the board be able to do this in coming years if revenues to the general fund continue to be below budget. The county can deficit spend, only so long as it has available cash balance in its various accounts.
