Budget
On June 7, 2010, the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved a $23.175 billion budget for fiscal year (FY) 2010-11. The Adopted Budget reflects a decrease of $431 million, or 1.8% from the FY 2009-10 Final Adopted Budget, and includes a reduction of 749.0 budgeted positions from the 101,113.0 in the FY 2009-10 budget. Consistent with the prior year budget, the FY 2010-11 Adopted Budget includes further reductions in programs, budgeted positions, and hiring, but the County will continue its provision of the most critical services and avoidance of layoffs by eliminating vacant positions.
The Chief Executive Officer’s Proposed Budget, adopted by the Board on April 20, 2010, closed a projected $510.5M budget gap with $175.2M in ongoing departmental curtailments, $13.0M in ongoing revenue solutions, $40.1M in federal stimulus funding, $167.2M in one-time bridge funding, and $115.0M in labor-management savings. The budget gap was primarily due to the reduction of revenues ($221.5M), public assistance caseload increases ($145.9M), and unavoidable cost increases ($130.9M).
The County is anticipating significant impacts from the State’s currently projected $19.1B budget deficit. The Governor’s May Revised Budget released on May 14, 2010, had an estimated impact to the County of $1.25B. At this time, the outcome of the State Budget is still unclear but the County is closely monitoring the State Budget situation and will address the impact once the State legislature has adopted a budget
approved a budget.
