CA Codes (gov:29060-29066)

29060.  From the estimates the auditor, or the administrative
officer if designated by the board, shall prepare a tabulation on
forms prescribed by the State Controller in the manner as prescribed
by the provisions of this chapter.


29061.  The board may designate the administrative officer to
review, hold hearings on, and recommend changes in the estimates
before the tabulation is submitted to the board.  Any differences
between the recommendations and the estimates as submitted with which
the official or person who submitted the estimates does not concur,
shall be clearly indicated in the written recommendations or
comments, or both.



29062.  The tabulation shall be submitted to the board by the
auditor, or by the administrative officer if designated by the board,
on or before June 30th of each year, as the board directs.



29063.  Upon receipt of the tabulation the board shall consider it
and, on or before July 20th of each year, at such time as it directs,
shall make any revisions, reductions or additions therein that it
deems advisable.  Any official or person whose estimates have been so
revised, reduced or increased by the board shall be given the
opportunity to be heard thereon before the board during or prior to
the hearings required by Section 29080 of this chapter.



29064.  (a) On or before July 20th of each year the board, by formal
action, shall approve the tabulation with the revisions, additions
and changes in conformity with its judgment and conclusions as to a
proper financial program for the budget period, whereupon it shall
constitute the proposed budget for the period to which it is to
apply.
   (b) The board may make additions and changes to the proposed
budget as it desires up to the time of adoption of the final budget,
provided that any increase or inclusion of additional items shall not
be made after the public hearing on the final budget unless proposed
in writing and filed with the clerk of the board before the close of
the public hearing or unless approved by the board by four-fifths
vote.


29065.  On or before August 10th of each year, as the board directs,
the proposed budget document, and the required statements if
separate, shall be reproduced so that each member of the general
public who desires may obtain one.  Copies of any changes made to the
proposed budget pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 29064 shall
be made available to the public 72 hours prior to the budget
hearings.



29065.5.  At a date on or before August 10th an official designated
by the board shall file with the clerk of the board a tabulation
prepared in accordance with the board's direction.
   When so filed, this tabulation shall constitute the proposed
budget and shall be reproduced by the designated official so that
each member of the general public may obtain one.
   When this section is implemented, it shall be the responsibility
of the official designated by the board to format the tabulation to
the requirements of Sections 29005, 29006, 29007, and 29008, to
concur with its use.
   The alternative procedure prescribed by this section shall apply
to a county only if the board adopts the procedure by resolution.




29066.  On or before August 10 of each year, the board shall publish
a notice once in a newspaper of general circulation throughout the
county, stating that:
   (a) The proposed budget documents are available to members of the
general public.
   (b) On a date stated in the notice, not less than 10 days after
the budget documents are available, and at a time and place also
stated in the notice, the board will meet for the purpose of
conducting a public hearing on the proposed budget preparatory to
making a final determination thereon, and,
   (c) Any member of the general public may appear at the hearing and
be heard regarding any item of the budget or for the inclusion of
additional items.
   The board may, by resolution, extend on a permanent basis or for a
limited period the date required by this section from August 10 to
September 8.
