Background: This agenda item references the proposed approval and adoption of the Baldwin County Fiscal Year 2018 - 2019 Budget.
This agenda item is in two parts, and staff respectfully asks that each staff recommendation be voted on separately and in the order indicated in the Staff Recommendation.
First, Resolution #2018-117 provides for the respect and acknowledgment of Amendment No. 750 and Amendment No. 772 to the Constitution of Alabama 1901. Amendment No. 750 and Amendment No. 772 provide additional authority for the Baldwin County Commission and municipal governments in the county to promote local economic and industrial development. Since the Baldwin County Fiscal Year 2018 - 2019 Budget involves expenditures (grants) of public funds to firms, corporations or other business entities, public or private, which could be construed or tied to the promotion of local economic and industrial development, staff accomplished the procedures provided in Amendment No. 750 and Amendment No. 772 to inform the public of the proposed actions. Staff reviewed the proposed appropriations with the Baldwin County Commission during several public special meetings related to the Baldwin County Commission’s Fiscal Year 2018 - 2019 Budget Deliberations. In accordance with Amendment No. 750 and Amendment No. 772, notification (by public notice) to the public was published in the Sunday, September 9, 2018 edition of the Mobile Press Register newspaper which is the newspaper having the largest circulation in Baldwin County. Further, Resolution #2018-117, is required to be adopted setting forth the respective determinations of the Baldwin County Commission that the variety of expenditures of public funds, as relates to a myriad of appropriations authorized by the Baldwin County Fiscal Year 2018 - 2019 Budget, will, respectively, serve a valid and sufficient public purpose.
Second, Resolution #2018-118 provides for the adoption of the Baldwin County Fiscal Year 2018 - 2019 Budget. The Budget PowerPoint slide is forthcoming.
