“Our mid-year update reveals that San Mateo County continues to have sufficient revenue to support essential health and social services, which are central to our mission,” said Board President David Canepa. “We are prepared to navigate potential financial challenges with robust property and sales tax projections and careful financial management.”

As part of the budget update, supervisors unanimously approved a resolution authorizing County Executive Mike Callagy to increase payments to service providers by up to 5% from Feb. 1 to June 30 to help cover rising salary costs.
