The proposed capital budget is $100.1 million, which the county says will go towards more than 60 different infrastructure and capital improvement projects, including landslide repairs.
In a press release, the county highlights investments in reducing fossil fuels, a new Information Technology Department and the Equity and Inclusion Department, previously the Minority, Women and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Department.
