County Board
County Executive Parisi released his proposed 2024 budget yesterday and the County Board Chair Miles has referred the budget resolutions to County Board and standing committees for review and action. Every October and November, the Dane County Board of Supervisors reviews and makes amendments to the following year’s budget as proposed by the County Executive.
“We provide several opportunities for public input throughout the budget process,” said County Board Chair Patrick Miles.
Meetings of the seven standing committees will take place throughout October, wherein they will hear from members of the public and County staff on their budget requests. A schedule of the committee budget meetings is available here: https://board.countyofdane.com/budget. A description of each of the standing committees is available here: https://board.countyofdane.com/Standing-Committee-and-Continuing-Committees. Meeting agendas with any budget amendments will be posted on the County’s Legislative Information Center: https://dane.legistar.com/Legislation.aspx.
The full County Board will hold a public hearing on the budget as proposed by County Executive Parisi on October 18 at 6:00pm. The meeting will be held in a hybrid format with members of the public able to attend in person or virtually.
The Board anticipates taking public comment on the budget on November 2 following Personnel and Finance Committee action on the budget earlier in that week. The Board will then begin budget deliberations on November 6.
Members of the public are encouraged to attend committee and Board meetings to share their priorities for the coming year. Additionally, the public is able to find who their Supervisor is with the "Find my Supervisor" tool available here: https://dcimapapps.countyofdane.com/supervisors/
“I encourage Dane County residents to contact their county board supervisors to share budget priorities for the coming year,” said Miles. “Public input is very important to finalizing a budget that reflects Dane County’s priorities and values.”
