County to approve final budget

Santa Rosa County Commissioners will hold one more public hearing at 6 p.m. Sept. 17 before approving the final 2012-13 fiscal year budget.

Commissioners held a public hearing on Sept. 4 to approve the tentative budget, but no one from the public made any comments to the board. The tentative budget for 2012-13 dropped below $100 million to $98,046,217, which is more than a $2 million reduction from last year’s total budget.
