The recommended spending plan called for $13.2 million in recurring cuts, with personnel making up 70%.

The September letter of intent made county support conditional on residents raising the remaining money.

The August referral called for a 2.579-mill increase and estimated about $115 a year on a $725,000 home.

The August application round drew funding from the county’s 0.125% Sustainability Tax.

Personnel and operating costs were targeted as officials worked to close an ongoing gap between spending and revenue.

The proposed property-tax increase was 2.579 mills, with voters to decide whether it should take effect.

Staff explored whether land-use changes could ease agricultural housing barriers in unincorporated areas.

Their June positions also opposed proposals on a tax-rate cap, natural gas and several public-safety issues.

The June plan offered awards from $20,000 to $400,000, with applications scheduled for July and August.

The county’s June election update covered equipment testing, mailed ballots and relocated drop boxes.

The May decision doubled planned monthly assistance to $600, using interest earned on federal relief funds.
