On the day after the county supervisors passed its budget for the coming fiscal year, the county issued a press release revising some points of its initial announcement of the passage. The revision removes public safety cuts as an option in the event concessions by unions do not materialize, because the nature of any cuts would be a policy decision made by the Board of Supervisors if and when the need arises. The revision also nearly doubled—to over $117 million —the valuation of county assets that are beyond their useful life and for which there is no funding to replace them.
