PRESENTATION  
10.A. FY27 Budget Discussion  
Director Hunn presented an overview and projection of the FY2027 maintenance budget,  
including a summary of the six Stormwater Management program areas and how each  
department or elected official prepares for the budget. She went over the budget schedule and  
general requirements. Director Hunn also reviewed program funding/revenue and anticipated  
expenditures, and shared about new initiatives raised by the Committee for consideration by the  
department.  
Members of the committee inquired about new capital projects, the outlook of the operation of  
the quarry after recent improvements have been made, hydraulic modeling, and the Buy Out  
program gaining more consideration for increased funding from the County. Director Hunn  
responded that the repair plan should give the quarry a 25-30 year life cycle with proper annual  
maintenance. The Buy Out program was discussed in greater detail and Director Hunn reiterated  
that it has been pushed into the new initiatives to ensure a detailed program is in place to be  
prepared for additional funding, if available. Director Hunn and Chair Zay noted that a copy of  
the budget will be sent to the Committee for review prior to submission, and will always be  
available for additional questions.
