Office of Policy and Budgetary Affairs
The OPBA was established by the BCC to analyze, research and develop legislation, review the Mayor’s proposed budget and support the BCC during consideration and approval of the County’s $9 billion budget. We also ensure that the BCC has all of the information they need as they make decisions affecting the County, and our, bottom line. OPBA is the BCC’s “financial advisor.”
OPBA holds agenda briefings for Commission staff prior to each of the Board meetings. Throughout the fiscal year, we work with all Commissioners providing briefings on the development and consideration of the annual budget. On this webpage, you can find the reports and other information we have prepared based on the requests of Commissioners and relevant policy information. If you would like more information about a particular subject, please let us know.
