EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT
The County of San Diego is committed to promoting a culture of equity, belonging, and racial justice. We serve all communities, including Black, Indigenous, people of Color, LGBTQIA+, people with disabilities, low-income individuals, the young, the elderly, immigrants, refugees, and those who have faced inequality.
The Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Recommended Operational Plan aims to allocate resources to address inequities in County programs and services. This plan is based on community input, data analysis identifying disparities, and meaningful assessment of outcome indicators.
In 2021, the County introduced a Budget Equity Assessment Tool. This tool helps County departments prioritize services and allocate resources with equity in mind. Each year, departments must identify equity components to evaluate budget changes that impact their ability to deliver services and support their goals. The questions in this tool ensure that the County applies an equity lens when developing the budget.
SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT
The County of San Diego is working towards a sustainable future for everyone. Our strategic plan guides our activities to ensure sustainability in the region's economy, climate, environment, and communities. We aim to strengthen communities by pursuing legislative policies and collaborating with stakeholders to enhance services that help residents become self-sufficient, increase economic sustainability, and reduce poverty.
County departments contribute by implementing their own sustainability plans, which reflect their priorities and inform financial planning and decision-making. This ongoing effort helps each department increase the overall sustainability of their operations. These collective efforts strengthen communities, ensure accountability, and protect public resources by aligning available resources through services and initiatives.
The proposed budgetary plans for the Fiscal Years 2025-27 in the CAO Recommended Operational Plan support the County's Strategic Initiative of Sustainability. This aligns our resources with services while maintaining fiscal stability and ensuring long-term solvency.
FISCAL IMPACT
The recommended action provides spending authority of $12,957,005 for the San Diego County Flood Control District for Fiscal Year 2025-26, which is an increase of $227,100 from the CAO Recommended Operational Plan.
