PUBLIC HEARING

Budget Hearing

Each year, prior to the board taking action to adopt the annual budget and fix and determine the appropriation from each fund, the board conducts a hearing and the public is provided the opportunity to speak for or against any part of the budget, the four-year plan, or proposed changes to the use of enrichment funds.  

The Vice President will open the hearing on the budget.  When she does so all attendee's microphones will be unmuted.   Attendees who wish to be heard regarding the budget may request recognition by the Vice President.
