County Budget Deliberations and Adoption Tuesday
The County Board of Supervisors will hold deliberations, and then adopt a budget for Fiscal Year 2023-24 on Tuesday.
Supervisors will consider a revised budget that includes proposed changes to the recommended budget that was released in May.
The original budget plan includes funding to address homelessness, mental health and substance use disorders, the justice system; help for working families and continued investment in core services like roads, fire protection and parks.
The revised recommended budget adds $60.6 million or an increase of 0.7 percent to the May plan for a total of $8.17 billion. That is an increase of $806.4 million or 11 percent from last year.
It includes another 50 positions, with the majority assigned to the County initiative of removing barriers to housing. The 0.2 percent increase brings the total of County employees to 20,387.25 staff years, an increase of 539.75 staff years from last year.
The revised plan also includes more funding to address the housing crisis, special election costs, an upgrade to the regional communication system, two mobile service center vehicles for the Probation Department, road safety improvements and more.
The County’s budget was built on community input, and residents were invited to departmental budget presentations at a Board meeting on May 11, two community budget meetings the following week and two budget hearings in June.
The public is also welcome to attend, watch, listen and participate in the budget deliberations and adoption starting at 9 a.m. on Tuesday.
