Budget review begins at noon April 2 at the commissioners office.
Commissioners will take up county government department requests at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, April 3, at the office.
Members of the Budget Advisory Committee will also be in attendance. They will hold a brief organizational meeting after commissioners finish their review on Wednesday.
