PURPOSE: To present the Recommended Fiscal Year 2008-2009 Budget to the Board of

BACKGROUND: Each year during the month of May, the County Manager presents the Board
of Commissioners with a recommended budget for the next fiscal year. The Board and County
staff have held multiple budget work sessions over the past nine months to discuss various
issues and projects in preparation discussion and decisions related to the County's FY 2008-
2009 budget. County Department Directors have also submitted budget requests to the
Manager for FY 2008-2009. County Manager Laura Blackmon has reviewed and considered
the input from the Board and staff and has developed a Recommended FY 2008-2009 Budget.
The Manager will provide a brief presentation of the Recommended FY 2008-2009 Budget at
the meeting and the Board will receive the Recommended FY 2008-2009 Budget materials.

sessions, one on June 5 at the Government Services Center in Hillsborough, and two others on
June 12 and June 17 at the Southern Human Services Center in Chapel Hill. The budget work
sessions start at 7:30 p.m.
