Council Approves Midyear Budget

As Chair of the Budget Committee, I am pleased to report that the King County Council has unanimously approved our midyear budget. The midyear budget is an opportunity to make adjustments to our adopted two-year budget, and is a collaborative budget built on a foundation of financial responsibility and restraint.

The budget increases funding to our rainy day reserve fund and makes targeted investments in community priorities. Increasing the reserves in the rainy day fund puts King County in a strong position to continue delivering health, housing and public safety services in the case of an economic downturn. Our wise stewardship of public dollars has also recently improved our standing with bond credit agencies.

Here is a link to more details on the budget. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Dave

King County Councilmember
District 5
