Thanks to Administrator Shea for attending today's Chamber Public Policy committee meeting to give us updates on a couple items the Chamber is tracking at the county level this year: 1) streaming/broadcasting board meetings; 2) user-friendly budget available online and the county budget process.
Shea reported that the broadcasting of board meetings has been put on the back burner due to other issues. The budget is available online, but not in it's entirety. He expects by the end of this budget cycle that a compilation of the budget will be available.
He also outlined a general timeline of the county's budget process: departments have already started reviewing their budgets; by August/September the board will get involved to review with committees the departments' budgets; the final number will be set by December, although the board will have a good idea by September (truth in taxation deadline).
To track these issues or to follow other issues the Chamber is watching, go to www.voiceforowatonna.org.
