April 16 — County of Santa Barbara Board of Supervisors to hold budget workshops

Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget Workshops
County budget workshops are held approximately one month before the release of the recommended budget and two months before budget hearings. This provides the Board of Supervisors an opportunity to review and discuss departments’ preliminary budgets and special issues, receive public input on these items, and provide the County Executive Officer direction on policy issues or specific items for consideration prior to completion of the Recommended FY 2025-26 Budget to be released in May.

The public is encouraged to attend the workshops and provide input on ideas being developed by staff to fund vital services. Final budget decisions will be made at the budget adoption hearings, which are planned for June 17 and 18, 2025.
