Presentations by county departments and agencies on their business plans and financial resource requests for budget year 2016 got underway Monday. The presentations will be heard by the budget review team made up of five Gwinnett residents who have volunteered to help Commission Chairman Charlotte Nash set priorities and make recommendations for the 2016 budget.
New to the committee this year are residents Lisa Burleson and Santiago Marquez, while review team veterans Mark Brock, Burt Manning and Latabia Woodward are returning. Burleson is a retired district level administrator from GCPS and Marquez is CFO/VP of the Georgia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Brock is building maintenance director for GCPS, Manning is a retired real estate appraiser and assessment administrator, and Woodward works as a strategic planning principal for Georgia Power.
The chairman’s 2016 budget proposal will be available to the public Nov. 17 prior to a public hearing Dec. 7. By county ordinance, the Board of Commissioners must adopt the annual budget during its first meeting in January.
