§ 374. Budget message. Where the board of supervisors of a county, by
action taken pursuant to section three hundred seventy-six, provides
that this section shall apply to such county, there shall be filed with
the tentative budget a budget message explaining the main features of
the tentative budget and a general summary thereof, with supporting
schedules which shall exhibit the aggregate figures of the tentative
budget in such manner as to show a balanced relationship between the
total estimated expenditures and the total estimated income for the
ensuing fiscal year, and which shall compare these figures with the
actual receipts and expenditures for the last completed fiscal year and
the appropriations for the current fiscal year. The budget message shall
contain such additional information or comments as are deemed advisable
by the budget officer, or as the board of supervisors, from time to
time, may require by resolution.
