Water District Meets Today to Discuss Annual Budget

The Dublin San Ramon Services District staff members will present an overview of the district’s budget to the board of directors at a special meeting at 6 tonight.

The meeting will give staff members an opportunity to talk about the agency's finances before its final vote on the 2011-12 fiscal year budget this June 7.

Some notes on the proposed budget, according to a statement the agency released last week:

• Current rate structures were used to budget operating revenues.
• Budgeted operating revenues cover costs sufficiently to meet all policy objectives established by the board for working capital and reserves.
• No operating funds will generate deficits during the budget cycle.
• Over the two-year period, total budgeted staff positions will decrease by 1.5 full-time equivalents from the fiscal year 2011 budget.
• The district remains strongly committed to controlling costs throughout the organization.

The meeting will be held today at 6 p.m. at the district's board room, 7051 Dublin Blvd. in Dublin.
