Board Tackles Budget Issues
San Andreas, CA....Yesterday the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors received their mid year budget update. Needless to say they have quite a bit of digging to find revenue and savings to get things to balance out. Maintaining core and expected services while plugging and patching budget holes will be a reoccurring theme the next few months. Possible solutions suggested were a trip down paths that were not taken before or taken and proved less than rewarding the first or second time. The first place to look for savings will be the biggest, discretionary budget area which is staff. There seemed to be a consensus that a straight across the board budget cut may not be the best approach and some plan of induced retirements to coax the senior and more costly staffers to enter the next chapter of their lives is expected. Raising sales taxes, increasing the TOT tax and other approaches for increased revenue that have been rejected in the past will probably be freshened up and presented as 2014 solutions as well....

Some supervisors such as Darren Spellman suggested that our county's properties were all being undervalued by the County Assessor. He then suggested that the county may be owed millions in back profits from the hospital. He had another recommendation that the County sell the Rock Creek Landfill. The last one may end up having the most merit. Selling Rock Creek would at least provide one less place in the future bury public funds.
The one elephant in the board room was allocating funds for maintenance and ongoing operations at the new jail. This and the rest of the problems will no doubt be solved. With this being an election year the elbows and invective will be flying. Not sure how Supervisor Spellman's suggestions of raising property taxes and going after the hospital might fair in an election year but selling the landfill might have some merits.
