San Diego County’s Chief Administrative Officer proposed a $6.21 billion budget for the 2019-20 fiscal year, which amounts to a 1 percent decline from the current $6.27 billion budget but still increases spending on mental health, law enforcement and child welfare services.
The spending plan, proposed by CAO Helen Robbins-Meyer, helps pay for those increases with $162 million in capital spending cuts, a 59 percent reduction over the previous year.
