The Sacramento County Board of Supervisors will begin Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 Revised Recommended Budget hearings on Wednesday, Sept. 3, 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. 4 and 5 at the same time and location.
The hearing schedule, in order (may be subject to change):
IHSS Public Authority Budget Deliberation and Approval
Potential Federal And State Funding Impacts On Future County Budgets
Presentation of the FY 2025-26 Revised Recommended Budget
Public Comment
Board Deliberation and Approval of Revisions to the Approved Recommended Budget and Adopted Budget Resolutions
The Board of Supervisors approved the FY 2025-26 Recommended Budget on June 4. The $8.9 billion spending plan recognized new or enhanced areas of growth in the General Fund totaling $43 million ($9 million funded with Net County Cost), with the addition of 52 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions. The FY 2025-26 General Fund recommended reductions totaled $18 million, which would have resulted in the deletion of 73 FTE positions. However, the Board of Supervisors made additional revisions to the Recommended Budget, totaling $11 million in restored reductions and additional growth.
The numbers in the budget change between June and September when the County receives new information, including the impact of the State Budget and updated fund balance and revenue totals. Because of that new information, the Revised Recommended Budget comes back to the Board for review and adoption in September.
The FY 2025-26 Revised Recommended Budget includes $9.2 billion in total appropriations, including $4.2 million in General Fund growth ($2.3 million funded with Net County Cost), with the addition of 16 FTE positions.
Members of the public may attend the hearings and be heard on any item in the budget, either publicly or through written comments. The budget hearings will also be telecast live on Metro Cable 14 and on the web.
