The FY-2009 budget process for Palm Beach County government is moving into the public workshop phase. The Board of County Commissioners has scheduled a workshop on June 18, beginning at 9:30 a.m. to officially receive the tentative 2009 budget. The workshop will be continued to the following day, if necessary, beginning at 2 p.m.
The workshop will be held in the Jane M. Thompson Memorial Chambers, sixth floor of the County Governmental Center, 301 N. Olive Avenue, West Palm Beach.
All documentation the commissioners are using to make their decisions is available for review at www.pbcgov.com. Just click on the “FY-2009 Budget” link. There you will find the workshop agenda, an overview of the proposed 2009 budget, line item expenditures and revenues by fund names, and previous years’ budgets.
The workshop will be carried live on PBC-TV cable Channel 20 and streamed live at www.pbcgov.com.
Another workshop has been scheduled for July 14 at 9:30 a.m. for additional discussion of the tentative budget. In September, two public hearings will be held for preliminary and final adoption of the 2009 budget.
