The following report provides, in detail, an explana- tion of the services, programs, and activities included in the fiscal year (FY) 2008-2009 budget for Navajo County. We welcome your interest in this document and encourage you to become familiar with the variety of services provided by Navajo County. The 2008-2009 fiscal year presented the Board of Supervisors and Finance Department staff with a number of challenges in their efforts to produce a budget that meets the county‟s needs without exceeding its resources. These challenges included: Flat revenue growth due to a slowing economy and reduced consumer spending Growing demands for services from an increasing population and weak economy A reduction in funding from the state, coupled with new cost shifts and unfunded mandates In spite of these challenges the Board has adopted a budget that makes long-term investments in County capital construction, addresses current County service demands, and conforms with policy changes from the state.
