DeKalb County To Meet With Bond Agencies

The question of more cuts or layoffs may return quickly for DeKalb County as it struggles with its budget.

County leaders are scheduled to meet with bond-rating agencies in New York on July 21, part of the effort to get a better credit score.

Planning for the 2012 budget also will be a factor for those agencies, such as Standard and Poor's. Chief Executive Burrell Ellis and Chief Financial Officer Joel Gottlieb are meeting Friday with department heads to begin the 2012 budget process. Ellis is scheduled to make a recommendation for that budget in December.

"It's not going to be easy budgeting going forward," Ellis said.
