Redwood City — San Mateo County today released a revised $5.5 billion budget that maintains critical services even as officials warn of uncertainty from federal policy shifts and an unresolved state shortfall.
The Board of Supervisors is scheduled to consider the spending plan at its meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 23. If adopted, it will update spending and staffing levels for the 2025-26 fiscal year, which began July 1.
The revisions reflect year-end rollover adjustments, changes in state and federal revenue, higher employee health costs and targeted additions in health and public safety programs. The plan increases spending by about $610 million and adds 24 positions, bringing total county staffing to 5,889.
County Executive Michael Callagy said the County’s priority is to maintain services that tens of thousands of local residents rely upon, from the Daly City Health Center and other neighborhood clinics to service offices from East Palo Alto to Half Moon Bay that help families request food assistance and housing support.
“We don’t control what happens in Sacramento or Washington, but we can prepare responsibly here at home,” Callagy said. “Through this Board’s careful fiscal stewardship, we’re protecting the services residents count on while keeping the County on solid financial footing.”
