From: Monica Nino, County Administrator
Report Title: ADOPT the County and Special Districts FY 2026-27 State Controller’s Office Recommended Budget Schedules
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
ADOPT the County’s 2026-2027 State Controller’s Office Recommended Budget Schedules for Countywide Funds and Special Districts.
FISCAL IMPACT:
These schedules meet the requirements of State law. Specific program recommendations will be presented to the Board during Budget Hearings beginning on April 27, 2026, with final adoption scheduled for May 19, 2026.
BACKGROUND:
State law requires that local government adopt a 2026-2027 Recommended Budget for Countywide funds and Special Districts prior to June 30, 2026, in order to spend monies for the coming fiscal year. Attached, for the Board of Supervisors’ consideration, are the Recommended Budget schedules as required by state law and regulation, which will serve as a placeholder until the Board approves a Final Budget. These schedules are in a state-required “line item” format, as opposed to the program budget format used by the Board during budget hearings. These schedules incorporate the same total net County cost level as will be presented in the County Administrator’s Recommended Budget.
During the public hearing on the Budget, the Board may make additional adjustments to the schedules presented herein. This recommended action will ensure that the Board of Supervisors will meet the requirements of State law and will in no way constrain the Board’s discretion to the FY 2026-2027 budget.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Absent a Board-approved budget, County expenditures are not authorized in the coming fiscal year.
