The Sacramento County Board of Supervisors will begin Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 Revised Recommended Budget hearings on Wednesday, Sept. 6, at 9:30 a.m. in Board Chambers in the Sacramento County Administration Building, located at 700 H Street, Sacramento, 95814. If necessary, hearings will continue on Sept. 7 and 8 at the same time and location.
The hearing schedule, in order (may be subject to change):
- IHSS Public Authority Budget Deliberation and Approval
- Introduction by the County Executive to the FY 2023-24 Revised Recommended Budget
- Public Comment
- Board Deliberation and Approval to Revisions of the Approved Recommended Budget
The numbers in the recommended budget change between June and September when the County receives new information, including the impact of the State Budget and updated revenue totals. Because of that new information, the Revised Recommended Budget comes back to the Board for review and adoption in September.
The Board of Supervisors approved the FY 2023-24 Recommended Budget on June 7. The $8.4 billion spending plan recognized new and enhanced areas of growth based on the Board’s priorities and a survey of Sacramento residents. The budget included annual commitments of $35 million to fund new or enhanced programs aligned with the County’s jail population reduction plans to comply with the Mays Consent Decree; $10 million in the Sheriff and Correctional Health budgets to fund continued efforts for additional staffing and services in the Mays Consent Decree Remedial Plan; $12 million to fund new programs and services addressing homelessness; $84 million of growth in Health Services; $17 million in additional funding for Child, Family and Adult Services; and $5 million to address road repairs and improvements in the unincorporated County, among others.
Members of the public may attend the hearings and be heard on any item in the budget, either publicly, over the phone or through written comments. The budget hearings will also be telecast live on Metro Cable 14 and on the web.
