The Board of Supervisors held a budget workshop on October 23, 2023, to review the 2024 draft budget. The Finance Director deferred review of ARPA, Stormwater, Short-Term Borrowing and Liquid Fuels Funds to focus on line-by-line capital requests. The Finance Director proposed transferring $1 million from the General Fund to the Capital Fund, noting the projected 2023 fund balance is $9,610.85. No staffing increases are included. The Police Department’s request for four new officers, at roughly $160,000 each in the first year, was discussed but not decided. The Board set the 2024 paving budget at $1 million, keeping total capital spending at $2 million. They then approved or denied capital requests by department. Approved items include: Administration vehicles ($5,287), PSB HVAC ($27,890), Community Center improvements ($18,505), Robin Hill HVAC repairs ($5,000), Police vehicles ($195,299.97), Mobile Data Terminals ($80,000), Radio Infrastructure Connectivity ($103,000), a Fire Chief service truck ($50,000), portable radios for fire ($25,000), Community Forestry Program ($54,000), demolition of blighted properties ($15,000), facilities signage ($10,000), Public Works vehicle leases ($234,527), GPS ($8,299), major equipment ($17,247), signal battery back-up ($11,240), a Parks vehicle lease ($5,153), one golf cart ($14,050), Parks vehicle leases ($20,604), MCA-TV graphics system ($35,000), and fiber ($4,000).
