DeKalb County residents can offer input on the county’s proposed $584 million budget for 2014 at two upcoming meetings.
Interim CEO Lee May recently recommended increasing the budget, originally proposed at $562 million, because of greater-than-expected fund balance from 2013. Part of the additional money will be used to give 3 percent raises to all county workers.
Public meetings on the proposal will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday and Feb. 27 at Maloof Auditorium, 1300 Commerce Dr., Decatur.
The County Commission is expected to vote on the spending plan in the next month but will adopt a tax rate, now expected to remain steady, this summer.
