Board Revises Approved 2026-27 Budget

The Sacramento County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Tuesday, Sept. 8, to revise the Approved Budget for the 2026-27 fiscal year.

The $9.2 billion Revised Recommended Budget included an increase of $230 million in total appropriations from the $8.9 billion Recommended Budget the Board approved in June. The increases included:

• A $31 million increase in General Fund appropriations
• A $199 million increase in appropriations and other funds, primarily due to re-budgeting of capital projects and other contractual expenditures

• Child, Family and Adult Services: Restoration of the 10% cut of the Child Abuse Prevention Council Birth and Beyond Family Resource Center totaling $380,000.
• Child, Family and Adult Services: Partial restoration of the contracted transportation service Hop, Skip and Drive totaling $250,000, with $100,000 in offsetting revenue.
