The Stanislaus County Chief Executive Office has released the County’s Recommended Proposed Budget for the 2017-2018 Budget Year. The Recommended Proposed Budget will serve as an interim spending plan for Stanislaus County operations until a Final Budget for 2017-2018 is adopted in mid-September.

The Recommended Proposed Budget totals $1,182,385,239 and reflects an increase of approximately 4.3 percent or $49,161,569 for all funds as compared to the 2016-2017 Adopted Final Budget of $1,133,223,670. The General Fund totals $313,662,951 which has increased approximately 5.2 percent or $15,427,536 from the 2016-2017 Adopted Final Budget of $298,235,415.

The focus of the budget looking forward is striving together to be the best – engaging community partners to leverage the resources in the County and learning together what is working and what is not.

A Public Hearing before the Board of Supervisors to consider the adoption of the 2017-2018 Recommended Proposed Budget has been scheduled at 9:05 a.m. on Tuesday, June 13. The meeting will take place in the basement Board Chambers located at 1010 10th St., in Modesto.

The Stanislaus County 2017-2018 Recommended Proposed Budget is available for public review. It can be viewed at the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors Office at 1010 10th St., Suite 6500, in Modesto. It is also available on the County’s website at www.stancounty.com/budget/ or at any of the 13 libraries located throughout Stanislaus County, including Oakdale and Riverbank.
