2010-2011 Budget Planning Process

The final budget summary for 2010/2011 is now available online. This budget represent a year's worth of work with Administration, the Board of Commissioners, Department Heads, our elected officials, union leadership and staff. Each group has been critical to molding our 2010/2011 budget to address the needs of our community while addressing the projected $30 million budget deficit.

Sincerely,
  

Verna McDaniel, Washtenaw County Administrator
