Macon County adopts FY2022 budget after multi-day hearings; departments asked to propose 3% cuts
Summary
Following multiple public hearings Sept. 28–30, 2021, Macon County commissioners adopted the FY2022 budget as printed and required each department head to return with recommendations for a 3% departmental cut to consider during follow-up sessions.
After multi-day budget hearings held Sept. 28–30, 2021, the Macon County Commission voted on Sept. 30 to adopt the FY2022 budget as printed. Commissioner Berry moved to adopt the FY2022 budget with the requirement that each department head return at a date set by the commission with recommendations on a possible three percent cut for their department; commissioners approved the motion unanimously.
The requirement to present a 3% reduction option reflects conservative planning and a desire to identify potential savings while leaving the budget in place for the new fiscal year. Department heads were asked to submit their proposed cuts for the board's later review and potential adoption. The adoption concluded a series of public budget hearings that had been scheduled and held the prior week.
