Amador County’s Budget Tightest In 10 Years
Amador County’s budget has seen better days, or more specifically better years. CAO Terri Daly told the BOS on Tuesday that there is never an easy year for a budget and she said that is the way she thinks it should be, because a challenging budget ensures staff is being efficient for the year. “This year is especially challenging year because of reduced revenues from many sources,” said Daly. Since this is the first year that two Supervisors, Oneto and Novelli, are new to the board, Daly explained the budget process. She said the budget starts in January every year and the board issues budget instructions that include strategies for the upcoming fiscal year. She said this year those instructions were no new programs and personnel, and that the budget maintain a 3% contingency for the general fund, which she later explained is for emergency situations.
