One month ago Acting County Manager Barbara Donnellan presented the proposed Fiscal Year 2011 Budget for Arlington County to a Regular County Board Meeting. Since the County is attempting to save $32.5 million, her proposal included cutting $16.2 from county programs as well as the jobs of 88 full-time employees, some of those currently filled.
One of these jobs is the position of the Teen Web Site Coordinator for the Arlington Partnership for Children, Youth and Families (APCYF), who directs the activities of all the interns who provide content for Arlington
Additionally, eliminating this position would also eliminate the manager of the Teen Network Board, a County- and School Board-appointed teen advocacy group made up of Arlington high school students who provide a voice for teens in Arlington. It, too, is under the direction of the APCYF.
The County will hold public hearings on the proposed budget on Tuesday, March 23 and Wednesday, March 24 at 7 pm in the County Board Room at 2100 Clarendon Blvd. Based on responses at these and other hearings, they will modify the budget and approve it in April. The new budget will go into effect at the beginning of the County’s fiscal year for 2011, on July 1, 2010.
