Getting It to the Finish Line

By the time the budget reaches the Board for consideration, it has passed through multiple rounds of internal review and refinement.

There’s a lot of work behind the scenes—reconciling funds, double-checking allocations, preparing clear materials, and making sure everything is consistent and understandable for decision-makers and the public.

Reaching that point isn’t about a single milestone—it’s the result of steady progress over several months, with contributions from many people along the way.

 

Why It Matters

At the end of the day, the budget is how we translate commitments into action.

It’s how voter-approved programs move forward. It’s how projects are funded and delivered. And, it’s how we ensure accountability for the use of public funds.

The time and collaboration placed into building the budget support that outcome.

 

Moving Forward

With the FY 2026–27 Budget now in place, the focus shifts to implementation—but the same level of coordination continues.

We’ll keep monitoring revenues, tracking expenditures, and working with partners to ensure projects move forward as planned.

And while the final document is complete, the work behind it is very much ongoing.
