Supervisors Get Look at New Operational Plan
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday morning accepted a proposed operational plan for the coming two fiscal years.
The presentation included a video that offers an overview of County operations and achievements from the past year (view above). The plan lays out a $4.97 billion budget for fiscal 2013-14 (view entire plan in pdf) and a $4.81 billion budget for fiscal 2014-15. The proposed plan will be considered at a series of public hearings starting June 10.
County Chief Administrative Officer Helen Robbins-Meyer said that while the economy is moving in the right direction, it remains fragile.
Presenting her first operational plan as CAO, Robbins-Meyer said the County has worked to balance the needs of the taxpayers, as well as those who use County services and County employees, like a three legged stool.
“No leg is more important than the other which is why putting together an operational plan is difficult and why governing is hard,” she said. “I believe this operational plan balances that stool as fairly as we can in light of our honest risk assessment.”
The fiscal 2013-14 budget calls for a 2.5 percent increase in spending over the current fiscal year, due primarily to the addition of staff to address new public safety and health responsibilities as well as increasing retirement costs.
