Board approves midyear budget changes, reappoints county counsel
Summary
The Board unanimously adopted the 2025–26 midyear monitoring report and budget resolution to amend revenues and appropriations, and reappointed county counsel to a four‑year term with specified salary adjustments.
The Yolo County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a midyear budget monitoring report and an accompanying resolution amending 2025–26 revenues and appropriations on March 3.
Budget highlights: Chief budget officer Laura Liddicot said many departments project narrower surpluses than in prior years; public‑safety realignment and certain sales tax receipts are below budget projections; and staff recommended limited uses of general‑fund contingencies (about $170,000) to address indigent defense and to participate in a regional jail‑medical services planning effort. The board adopted the recommended resolution after questions about jail medical costs, the county’s cannabis program revenues and Capital Improvement Project carryforwards.
Appointment: The board also unanimously reappointed the county counsel for an additional four‑year term and approved a compensation amendment (a 6% adjustment effective 01/01/2026 and 3.76% effective January 2027, with benefits and other terms as described in staff materials).
What comes next: Staff will follow up on special‑revenue fund balances, return with any necessary staffing resolutions (for example, the Walnut Park Library positions) and continue to brief the board on county financial trends through the third‑quarter monitoring process.
