Title
HEARING - Consider recommendations regarding spending priorities due to higher than anticipated cannabis revenues, as follows: (4/5 Vote Required) (EST. TIME: 2 HRS.)
a) Receive and file an update on potential uses for unappropriated revenue in the general fund due to higher than anticipated cannabis tax revenue received in excess of Fiscal Year 2018-2019 budgeted amounts, and provide staff with further direction, if any, on making a mid-year appropriation;
b) Subject to Board discussion, approve the necessary budget revision, in an amount specified by the Board during the hearing, to increase appropriations funded by release of committed fund balance within the general fund;
c) Provide other direction to staff as appropriate; and
d) Find that the proposed actions are administrative activities of the County, which will not result in direct or indirect changes to the environment and therefore are not a “project” as defined for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5).
