earlier this year. He announced the members of the Budget Review
Committee: Chairman Greg Moore, Commissioner Kate Segal and Commissioner

Committee has been meeting with elected officials and independent County
Boards in an effort to discuss issues and priorities without talking
about funding prior to the budget kick off. These meetings are a new
step this year, based upon comments received following the 2004 process.
He encouraged input into ways to continually improve the budget process.

information from The Price of Government - Budgeting for Outcomes, on
economic trends and Calhoun County trends. County
Administrator/Controller Greg Purcell reported on a number of
