As part of the annual budget process, in accordance with policy 1.7, Board financial policies are reviewed with proposed updates presented for Board consideration.  Financial policies were first adopted by Resolution 2006-151, with the last update approved October 8, 2018 (Resolution 2018-117).

The proposed update includes language clarification on the existing $100K approval threshold in sections 1.6 (b) and (c) of the operating budget policies. It also adds section 1.15 (a) and (b) under operating budget policies to require BOCC approval for all changes in FTE count or number of authorized positions, and to require budget for all newly authorized positions to be held in reserve until filled.
