Adopt a resolution entitled, ADOPTION OF THE BUDGET FOR SAN DIEGO COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR COMMENCING JULY 1, 2023 EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT The County of San Diego promotes a government culture of equity, belonging, and racial justice. We serve the needs of communities with diverse groups including Black, Indigenous, people of Color, LGBTQIA+, people with disabilities, people of low‐income, the young, the older, immigrants, refugees and communities that have historically faced inequality and inequity. The Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Recommended Operational Plan is intended to allocate resources to help address inequities in County programs and services in response to community input, data analysis identifying disparities, and meaningful assessment of outcome indicators. In 2021, a new Budget Equity Assessment Tool was implemented to help County departments prioritize services and resource allocations with equity in mind. This tool requires all County departments to annually identify equity components in new budget requests by responding to five budget equity questions. The questions are designed to ensure we study and appropriately respond to the effects our spending plans have on all County residents by continuing to operationalize and increase opportunities for equity in our programs and services. SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT The County of San Diego is building a sustainable future for all. The County’s strategic plan guides County activities to ensure sustainability as it relates to the region’s economy, climate, environment, and communities. The County strives to strengthen communities in all interactions by actively pursuing legislative policies and collaborating with stakeholders to enhance services that allow residents to transition to self-sufficiency to increase economic sustainability and 1TUESDAY, JUNE 27, 2023

The proposed budgetary plans presented in the Fiscal Years 2023-25 CAO Recommended Operational Plan support the County of San Diego’s Strategic Initiative of Sustainability to align the County’s available resources with services while maintaining fiscal stability and ensuring long-term solvency.
