11. Budget 2017-18 budget Budget authority override for 18-19 or 19-20??
We are allowed to grow $72,000
Projected General Fund budget increases are $210,000
We will likely have to trim our budget by $138,000, because we will likely be not allowed to grow our budget by more than $72,000
Very doable in 17-18, but not sure about and beyond
Budget authority override for or 19-20??
We don’t have a revenue problem, we have an expenditure problem
