Committee approves $4 million supplemental appropriation for Open Space fund
Summary
Rules Committee approved assuming lead agency for funding-only action and added a $4 million appropriation to the County Open Space fund as Project No. 128 in the 2026 Capital Plan. Staff said funds were already approved in the Capital Plan and need this supplemental appropriation to be available.
The committee approved a funding-only action to add a $4,000,000 appropriation to the Orange County Open Space fund and typed the action as Type I with a negative declaration, then approved a supplemental appropriation as Project No. 128 in the 2026 Capital Plan.
Alan J. Sorensen told the committee the funding was already included in the Capital Plan; this supplemental appropriation makes those funds available to the Open Space Fund. Committee members asked about application cycles—Sorensen said the first-round application deadline is April 22 and a second round will occur in September. Motions carried unanimously.
