The Management and Budget Team assists the Board of Supervisors in development and implementation of policies, recommends the annual budget and legislative platforms to the board for adoption, compiles the fee schedule, and assists in the administration and operation of county departments by monitoring the use of financial and human resources.
Each year, Humboldt County departments review and recommend State and federal legislation that would improve and enhance county financing, operation, and efficiency in service delivery.
Due to budget constraints, sheriff’s patrols have been greatly reduced across Humboldt County, meaning it can sometimes take several hours for a sheriff’s deputy to respond to a call. Measure Z can provide the funds we need to expand patrols, maintain emergency 9-1-1 response times, and make sure calls about violent or property crimes are responded to promptly.
The County Administrative Office maintains a public information function to assist in disseminating valuable information to the news media and community.
