DeKalb County department heads hope to get some answers on how to proceed with their budgets Thursday.
The County Commission will hold a day-long budget retreat Thursday at Agnes Scott College to discuss the 2011 budget. Last month, the commission rejected a property tax increase and voted to cut $33.6 million from the budget.
Despite the cut, commissioners say they do not expect any layoffs or major service reductions.
CEO Burrell Ellis and department heads say that is not possible and have already begun cutting, including planing to close a library April 1, cancelling a police academy and grounding a police helicopter.
