a) Receive and file information about the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 preliminary budget;
b) Provide direction, if any, regarding items to be addressed or included in the County Executive Officer’s (CEO’s) Recommended Budget, scheduled for release in May and Board adoption scheduled for June 14 and 15, 2022;
c) Approve a new budget development policy to maintain a minimum reserve of $3 million in the Disaster Recovery fund balance (Account 9846) in General County Programs to fund the repair of County infrastructure damaged during disasters when no other State or Federal reimbursement or other available funding can be identified;
d) Provide direction, if any, regarding Special Issues or other items; and
e) Determine pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines 15378(b)(4) that the above actions are not a project subject to CEQA review, because it is a government fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
