SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CA (MPG) - The Sacramento County Board of Supervisors will begin Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 Revised Recommended Budget hearings at 9:30 a.m. Sept. 3 in the Sacramento County Administration Building’s Board Chambers, located at 700 H St., Sacramento.

If necessary, hearings will continue on Sept. 4 and Sept. 5 at the same time and location.

The hearing schedule, subject to change, includes In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority budget deliberation and approval; and potential federal and state funding impacts on future county budgets. It also includes the Fiscal Year 2025-26 revised recommended budget presentation, public comment, and 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 positions. The FY 2025-26 General Fund recommended reductions totaled $18 million, which would have resulted in the deletion of 73 full-time equivalent 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 Sacramento County receives new information, including the state budget’s impact and updated fund balance and revenue totals. Because of that new information, the Revised Recommended Budget comes back to the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors 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 full-time equivalent positions.

Members of the public can 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 at metro14live.saccounty.gov and on the web at sccob.saccounty.gov/Pages/BOSPublicMeetings.aspx.
