Supervisors review proposed 2025 budget amendments, set May 28 public hearing
Summary
County staff presented a multi-department summary of proposed 2025 budget amendments affecting revenue and expenditure lines, including grants, home care reductions and election cost increases; supervisors set a public hearing for May 28 at 10 a.m.
County staff reviewed proposed budget amendments for fiscal 2025 and reminded supervisors that a public hearing is scheduled for May 28 at 10 a.m.
Staff described multiple departmental adjustments: increased revenue and matching expenditures for well grants in conservation; a $40,000 reduction in home care revenues tied to fewer VA referrals and contracted hours; additional revenue from employer-of-record fees for CICS and billing for school district bond mailers; and higher election costs for printing ballots, bond mailers and maintenance agreements on election equipment. Treasury-related revenue increases tied to title-transfer fee retention were also mentioned by staff.
The county’s home-care department reported a separate budget amendment request of $10,000 to offset wage study impacts; supervisors were told it is likely the last amendment before year-end if expenditures remain conservative.
Why it matters: the amendments adjust both revenue and expenditure lines across multiple service areas and affect department operations and staffing. Supervisors were reminded they may reduce proposed amendments at the public hearing but cannot increase them after the hearing.
Next steps: staff will publish amendment documents and hold the public hearing on May 28 at 10 a.m.; supervisors may make final adjustments then.
