The
Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners plans to cut 20 percent
from its overall general fund for the next fiscal year, which begins
Oct. 1.
This is necessary to meet the current challenges resulting from
the national economic downturn and to plan for the continuation of
reduced revenues in the county.
As they consider
the reduction or elimination of public services and programs,
commissioners will host three public budget meetings in March to
solicit feedback from residents. The feedback
provided at the public meetings and through other public outreach
efforts will be used in the decision making process as the budget is
resized.
