Marin County approves $866M budget, finalizes restructuring of county exec office

THE MARIN COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS unanimously approved a nearly $866 million budget for the upcoming fiscal year that includes adding firefighters to the county fire department and expanding its mental health crisis centers.  

The budget also restructures the office of the county executive as it transitions from a county administrator model, adding 20 employees to the office, which works out to the equivalent of 17 full-time employees to the county’s payroll, at an ongoing cost of $2.5 million.
