Rollover Budget Presentation

1/19/10 7:00 pm BOE Budget Rollover Presentation
What is a Rollover Budget?
A rollover budget is the first step in designing next year’s spending plan, occurring early in the budget process. All known fixed increases are adjusted for categories such as salaries, benefits and debt service. From this starting point the Board then evaluates known increases and adjusts where they can legally cut to avert a large percentage tax increase. The Board has stated that they intend to keep any increases as low as possible.

UPDATE: Haldane’s rollover budget document now available. 
Here is a snapshot of the rollover budget:
