San Mateo County supervisors approve budget that will add 207 employees over next two years - San Jose Mercury News
The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a two-year budget Wednesday that adds 207 positions.By adopting a budget that covers two years instead of one, the board will save "thousands of staff hours" next year, some of which can be used instead for in-depth performance reviews, County Manager John Maltbie wrote in a memo to the board. The vote capped three days of public hearings on individual departments' spending plans.The budget for the 2013-14 fiscal year, which began July 1, totals nearly $2.2 billion and authorizes the hiring of 165 additional employees. The 2014-15 fiscal year budget totals about $1.93 billion and authorizes 42 additional positions, bringing the county workforce to 5,342.Most of the new employees will be hired to help meet the needs of the federal Affordable Care Act known as Obamacare and to staff a new county jail currently being built in Redwood City. The two-year budget also sets aside nearly $158 million toward construction costs for the new jail, and $60 million to pay down the county's pension liability. The county's spreadsheet also includes tens of millions of dollars from the Measure A half-cent sales tax that voters approved in November -- almost $50 million this fiscal year and more than $42 million the next.From the Measure A funds, almost $6.5 million would be spent for technology improvements, $10 million for a SamTrans subsidy, $10 million for early learning programs,[url=http://woolrich-outlet-online.blogspot.com]Woolrich Outlet[/url], $7.4 million for the county park system, and more than $16.6 million for buildings and facilities infrastructure.In addition, $11.5 million of Measure A funds will be given this fiscal year to Seton Medical Center, which is struggling to pay for needed seismic upgrades and serves many of the county's indigent residents. The amount to be provided next fiscal year hasn't yet been determined, according to the county.Email Bonnie Eslinger at beslinger@dailynewsgroup.com; follow her at twitter.com/bonnieeslinger.
