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.  LIVESTREAM YOUTUBE "CSBTV20" YOUTUBE "CSBTV20 Español" Board of Supervisors Meetings en Español Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisor meetings are available in Spanish.
