Members | 2009 Recommendations | Meeting Materials | 2007 Recommendations The Jefferson County Citizen Budget Review Panel, appointed by the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners, completed its final recommendations and presented them to the Board of County Commisioners on Aug. 18, 2009. The panel was originally created in 2007 to provide an independent review and analysis of the county's financial situation from the citizens' perspective, and make recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners. This gave a fresh analysis of county activities and services, and was instrumental in evaluating the business practices the county utilizes to implement its operations. Many of the recommendations of the 2007 panel have been incorporated into the county's budget, helping the county to trim costs while meeting the demand for increased services. Earlier this year, Commissioners asked the 15-member committee to conduct an independent review of how the county should address more than $277 million in projected construction, equipment and maintenance costs through 2013. The Commissioners accepted the report and the recommendations at the Aug. 18 staff briefings and thank the committee for their thorough review and analysis. The panel's 2009 recommendations are:
