Sonoma County passes layoff-free annual budget (Sonoma Sun)

Karen Clemmer 9/12/204:31 PM

The Sonoma County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a $1.9 billion budget for 2020-21 it says avoids layoffs while making investments in critical areas such as fire recovery, permanent supportive housing, COVID-19 response, and mental health and homeless services.

The Board was faced with a projected $45.7 million revenue shortfall because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic downturn. As a result, the recommended budget suggested the reduction of more than 100 positions, including 55 layoffs of current employees. But the Board avoided layoffs by backfilling most of the cuts with discretionary, one-time funds.
