In This Issue February Program Officers and Board Members Help Wanted   The PWC 100 February 16, 2012 Program Should County Supervisors Have Funds to Spend in their Individual Discretion? County Supervisors are allowed to accumulate surpluses from their office budgets over a number of years and spend them after notice to their colleagues of a planned expenditure. Should some county tax revenues be spent at the direction of a single elected official, rather than through the budget processes (including public hearings) and the decisions of the Board of Supervisors as a whole? In the past, some discretionary funds have been used to address urgent needs of governmental services in a district and have often been donated to non-profit organizations. However, the February program will focus on the off-budget aspect of the Supervisors’ discretionary funds and not on whether government funds should be provided for the work of non-profit groups.
