The board’s approval included a package of smaller grants and fiscal‑sponsor arrangements for neighborhood groups, nonprofit organizations, and community programs. Notable approvals and changes included a $105,000 allocation championed by Supervisor Young to activate cultural and business corridors — named in public comment as including Galli, Willow, Tule Road, Story Road, East Village, Japantown and Alum Rock — and a $40,000 allocation cited for CASI (Counseling and Support Services for Youth) to develop a three‑year strategic plan.

Public comment: Dozens of community speakers addressed the board during the inventory item. Sarita Coley, who identified herself as CEO of Aki and spoke on behalf of the Domestic Violence Advocacy Consortium (DVAC), thanked the board for preserving funding for domestic violence survivor services and said the funds provide “stability, safety, and healing.” Community organizers, neighborhood association representatives and nonprofit leaders also thanked supervisors for rapid encampment support funding, neighborhood grants, and business‑corridor activation dollars. Sean, a REST co‑founder, described REST as “the rapid response network for sweeps” and urged continued support for services that assist people experiencing homelessness.

Technical edits and fiscal‑sponsor changes: Supervisors proposed and agreed to specific administrative updates to inventory items, including adding District 8 Roundtable as a fiscal sponsor for the Evergreen Leadership Neighborhoods Association and Norwood Neighborhood Association; renaming an organization in county records to Embolden Change; and updates to fiscal sponsors for multiple items (including using Santa Clara Valley Legal Assistance Center and Values Plus Foundation as fiscal sponsors for specified items). Supervisor Abakulka withdrew item 49 for the Immigrant Resettlement and Cultural Center (IRCC) and reallocated $2,000 to inventory item 85 to increase REST funding to a total of $12,000.

Vote: The clerk called the roll on item 78; the board approved the inventory package with the technical edits by unanimous vote: Supervisor Abakulka — aye; Supervisor Yoon — yes; Supervisor Ellenberg — yes; Vice President Arenas — yes; President Lee — aye. The chair announced the motion carries.

Why this matters: The inventory process distributes smaller, often one‑time allocations to community groups and neighborhood associations. Supervisors and speakers noted that many smaller neighborhood groups find the nonprofit registration and fiscal sponsor requirements administratively burdensome; several supervisors asked administration to explore an omnibus fiscal‑sponsor approach or other steps to reduce administrative friction for small community groups.

Ending: Administration will update contract language and fiscal‑sponsor records and proceed with issuing payments according to the inventory schedule. Several supervisors thanked staff, their own offices, and community partners for their work on the inventory process.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors Budget Hearing - June 12, 2025 1:30 p.m.","oneSentenceSummary","The Santa Clara County Board on June 12 approved inventory funding proposals (item 78), including $105,000 to activate business and cultural corridors, several neighborhood association grants, and a reallocation that raised REST funding to $12,000.","taxTitle","Santa Clara County, California","taxId",2855,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6525055,"Santa Clara County Board adopts FY 2025–26 budget, votes 5-0 amid warnings about federal funding cuts",2135,1028105,3163405,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3795407-fd50473960247f2a56a93f0ac669d209&start=1028&end=3163","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3795407-fd50473960247f2a56a93f0ac669d209/thumbnail_1028105.jpg","/articles/6525055/Santa-Clara-County/California/Santa-Clara-County-Board-adopts-FY-202526-budget-votes-5-0-amid-warnings-about-federal-funding-cuts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6525055-b5f3de870e7780dd5a380989fa789ae3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771126034&Signature=Lmab75wadMb994hBzfgNNGNwro5IDHi58DS3mf8Inz4nSuQ3ddumJwwEP~Jl2DyOHAB4wGq2MM4BFc4OklxFujyvoaIxgD4h8uUcyTT8VdyYH62kMwZDzHNAduBt9FnJDpUim~6RSstYg2jXn8MwLD9bDwj2fJXtt~t22qKkmLyjyPC3QrVlqM8QA6NbdWEtcwy-HxsBHPnz5oLCCDFJsIOg-YrEc-q2sUK7klq4ehcFsV34XPo3ZuUqgknYmIJUidG9sghc-fw23A-wgO4Q03D6K5S86m-j0BW4AxDOd-5oATTeQ9NVXBrFeL3cLAHFwHnp-z1FlJvlVBn54NRuJw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted the county’s fiscal year 2025–26 budget on Thursday, June 12, approving the final budget package and associated salary ordinances by a 5-0 roll-call vote.

The budget adoption, listed as item 79 on the board’s agenda, formalizes the county’s spending plan for the coming fiscal year and includes referrals the board requested during the multi-day budget hearings for later report-backs and study sessions. The vote followed brief remarks from county administration and several supervisors about the difficulty of balancing services amid “unprecedented” federal and state funding uncertainty.

County administrative staff member James told the board the approval is the final step and that the packet includes the salary ordinances and the referrals the board asked to memorialize during recent budget hearings. “Item 79 is the final approval of the budget with all of its accompanying salary ordinances and associated actions,” James said, and staff stood ready to answer questions.

Why this matters: County leaders said the adopted budget is intended to preserve safety-net services while responding to what several supervisors described as a “triple threat” of general fund deficits, state funding reductions, and federal actions that have already affected grant awards. Supervisors and administration cautioned that further federal or state cuts to programs such as Medi‑Cal or nutrition assistance could force additional adjustments next year.

Board debate and direction: Vice President Arenas asked that one of the study-session referrals be reframed to examine systemwide improvements and change models across county programs rather than tying the session to a single program. Arenas said the study should look at countywide budget and program models — for example, priority-based, strategic, or program-based budgeting — to consider system improvements such as alternatives to emergency response and gender‑based violence prevention programs. Arenas said the referral language was edited on the record to reflect those countywide goals.

Several supervisors used closing remarks to place the budget in broader context. President Lee opened the hearing by condemning the forceful removal of a sitting U.S. senator at a federal press conference and urged residents to exercise peaceful protest rights; later board members reiterated concerns about federal actions and emphasized the county’s role as a safety net. Supervisor Ellenberg said the adopted budget marked a beginning, not an end, and asked the public to continue holding officials accountable as staff implement and adjust programs.

Vote: On the motion to adopt the FY 2025–26 budget and related ordinances, the board voted as follows: Supervisor Abakulka — aye; Supervisor Yoon — yes; Supervisor Ellenberg — yes; Vice President Arenas — yes; President Lee — aye. The chair announced, “Motion carries.”

What’s next: The board scheduled its next meeting for Tuesday, June 17 at 9:30 a.m. in the Board Chambers. Administration and Office of Budget and Analysis staff said they will begin work on the next fiscal cycle and implement the referrals the board requested for follow-up reports and study sessions.

Ending: Board members and county staff expressed appreciation for the Office of Budget and Analysis team’s year‑long work producing the budget and for department staff who prepared program materials and proposals. Supervisors cautioned that the county’s ability to maintain services depends on how the federal and state funding landscape evolves and urged continued preparation for additional revenue risks.","The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously June 12 to adopt the fiscal year 2025–26 budget, approving related salary ordinances and referrals for further study as staff warned of looming federal and state cuts.","actionData","errors"]
