County faces $3.4M deficit

Glenn County is looking at an almost $3.4 million budget shortfall for the 2012-13 fiscal year based on budgets prepared by county department heads.

Finance Director Ted Rozmaryn is reporting that figure Tuesday as the Board of Supervisors begins to tackle next year's budget.

Rozmaryn suggests the board accept the department heads' financial work papers and then consider forming an ad hoc committee to look at potential cuts and changes to balance the budget.

Tuesday's board meeting begins at 9 a.m. in the board room inside the Willows Memorial Hall, 525 W. Sycamore St.

The budget review is scheduled for 10:30 a.m.

In other business, the board will look at side letters to memorandums of understanding on longevity pay for members of the Glenn County Deputy Sheriff's Association, Peace Officers' Association and the general bargaining unit.

Planning and Public Works Director John Linhart also will present a report on unmet transit needs in the county and hear citizen input during a public hearing at 9:45 a.m.

Glenn County's Child Welfare Self-Assessment Report also is up for review at 10:15 a.m. with Human Resource Agency Director Scott Gruendl discussing the document.
