Finance committee endorses timeline changes, recommends duty officer vehicle purchase; notes $30,000 shortfall at active adult center
Summary
The finance committee recommended an amended budget timeline (to avoid calendar conflicts), endorsed moving forward a roughly $97,000 duty officer vehicle purchase from the CIP, discussed Safe Streets assessments and fund-balance policy work, and reported the active adult center faces an approximate $30,000 shortfall pending further discussion.
The board’s finance representative reported several items at the April 15 meeting: committee endorsement of the budget timeline (with a proposed exec-committee schedule change to avoid Rosh Hashanah), a recommendation to move ahead with a duty officer vehicle purchase (approx. $97,000) because of operational need, and preliminary discussion of a fund-balance policy that would set reserve targets by department.
The committee also noted the active adult center is about $30,000 short after county allocation changes; the shortfall was raised as an item for further discussion about whether the municipalities, authorities or the center will cover the gap. The finance representative outlined planned Safe Streets assessments (countywide sidewalk gap analysis and lane-departure review) intended to support future grant applications.
Supervisors requested follow-up on timing and the county notice that affected active-adult funding; staff said more information will be provided as managers and authorities continue conversations. No formal budget amendments were adopted at the meeting; the duty-vehicle recommendation will be forwarded to the executive committee as noted in committee materials.
