MAYVILLE – It’s committee week for the Chautauqua County Legislature with discussion on the 2015 county budget expected to take place, starting today and continuing throughout the week.
The legislature’s Public Facilities committee will meet at 4 p.m. this afternoon and will go over the 2015 budget with director George Spanos. In addition, committee members will also review the budget for the county water and sewer district. The committee will also review a resolution to extend the lease for the restaurant at the county airport for two years at a cost of $200 a month.
The Legislature’s administrative services committee is scheduled to meet this afternoon at 5 p.m. in Mayville. Among the items on the agenda is a discussion on the proposed budget for several county administrative departments, including IT, the Law Department, Human Resources, Finance and the legislature.
Both committees will meet in Room 331 of the Gerace Office Building and both meetings are open to the public.
The budget discussions are taking place prior to the budget presentation by County Executive Vince Horrigan, which he will deliver later this month during the legislature’s voting session on Sept. 24.
Horrigan has already said that this year’s budget will be another trying one for county lawmakers as they work to close a multimillion dollar gap without a significant hike in property taxes.
