If you missed the first public hearing on the County’s $8.11 billion recommended budget for fiscal year 2023-24, a final hearing will take place at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 15.

The “Invested in Community” budget plan was released May 4. Funding addresses homelessness, mental health and substance use disorders, the justice system; help for working families and continues to invest in core services like roads, fire protection and parks.

The public can learn more about the recommended budget by viewing an executive summary or the full recommended budget plan.

The 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 on May 16 and 18, and the first public hearing Monday.

The public is also welcome to attend, watch, listen and participate in the final budget hearing and the 9 a.m. budget deliberations and adoption on Tuesday, June 27.
