Opportunity to weigh in on budget allocation
AUBURN, Calif. – Budget discussions are prompting the Placer County Board of Supervisors to change the time of its regularly scheduled public meeting on May 5 to begin at 12:30 p.m. instead of 9 a.m. to encourage community participation.
In addition to the standard meeting items, supervisors will hear a special presentation on department budgets for the next fiscal year, which begins July 1, 2020. The budget discussion portion of the meeting is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. and residents are encouraged to join the meeting remotely through the county website.
