Council back to budget work today

The Kaua‘i County Council’s Committee of the Whole has finished reviewing the $164.98 million operating budget the administration proposed March 5 for Fiscal Year 2012. Today council members will be back in their seats at chambers in Nawiliwili to review Mayor Bernard Carvalho Jr.’s supplemental budget, submitted Thursday. The operating budget proposed in the supplemental is $3.3 million less than the March 5 submittal, but it calls for the creation of a reserve fund which would brings the total up to $185.97 million.
