Certified Budget Report FY 2016, June 4, 2015

The Certified Budget Report is prepared annually by each community college. Each college has specific steps that it follows in order to prepare this report and to submit it to the controlling county auditor by March 15 of each year. In January, the valuation reports are available from the county auditors to use as a basis for tax revenue estimates. In preparing the Certified Budget Report, historical year numbers are verified, current year numbers are re-estimated, and the next fiscal year numbers are estimated. Once the Certified Budget Report is prepared, it is filed with the community college board. After filing with the community college board, a public hearing is set. The date for the public hearing must be published no sooner than 20 days before the hearing and no later than 10 days before the hearing. At that public hearing, any comments from the public are heard and the board votes to accept the budget. If adopted by the board, the budget is filed with the controlling county auditor.
