Adopted Budget By Year
* Each department is part of a "Fund". Many times, a department or even a fund may show greater expense then revenues for the current fiscal year. This does not account for money that was not spent in prior years, also known as "beginning fund balance". To see beginning fund balances for each fund click here. When creating the annual budget Counties are required by law to adopt a balanced budget, meaning the total expense cannot exceed the sum of revenue plus beginning fund balances.
Recent Departmental Accomplishments
- The most notable accomplishment this year will be the completion of the new Tuolumne County Jail.
Top Departmental Concerns
- Much of the County infrastructure, primarily our buildings, are in need of major repair. Years of tight budgets have led to an significant accumulation of deferred maintenance.
- Each year cuts are made and the impacts of COVID-19 create an even greater strain on available funding for capital projects
Looking Forward- Planning Goals
- Review and updating the Capital Improvement plan will provide the road map needed to priorities capital projects. Once the projects are idendifed county staff can being working with qualified contractors and consultants to recieve cost estimate. This will then allow us to begin to look for grant opportunities or other funding sources.
