Marin County’s $815M million budget takes effect

Marin County supervisors have started the new fiscal year with a $815 million budget.

The board made some last minor adjustments to the budget, including more allocations for the county’s nonprofit community partners program.

Josh Swedberg, the county’s budget director, said the budget reflects a moderately growing economy but staff remain cautious because of changes at the state level — a $56 million fiscal deficit over the next two years.

“We’re in kind of a wait-and-see mode,” Swedberg said.
