The Board of Supervisors adopted the county’s preliminary “rollover” budget to carry operations from July 1 while staff complete final FY 2025–26 budget work.

County finance staff described the rollover as a baseline budget carried from the prior year to ensure continuity of operations and to allow staff time in the first quarter to refine revenue and fund-balance estimates. The prelim budget presented at the meeting included total expenditures of $152,325,490 across all funds and revenues of $133,378,816; the general‑fund portion shown was $89,319,332 in expenditures and $79,886,983 in revenues. Staff said the auditor-controller will not certify final fund balances until Sept. 9, 2025, at which time the county will return with a revised recommended budget for board adoption.

Supervisors approved the rollover budget by motion. The rollover includes appropriations for planned capital and special projects that require continuing authority until the full fiscal-year budget is adopted.
