At a Work Session on Tuesday, Aug. 4, County Administrator Jana Petersen presented an update to the Boulder County Commissioners on the county’s budget, structure, and operations.

Boulder County has been working over the last two years to address a structural budget deficit in order to avoid the county spending more money than it takes in.

In April, the commissioners announced that the county had successfully achieved its target of finding $13.2 million in reductions, but that another $13.2 million in cuts to personnel and operating expenses was needed for the 2027 Budget. Based on current financial projections for revenue, the commissioners continue to anticipate the 2027 budget being the last year of cuts.

The recommended 2027 Budget will be presented to the commissioners on Thursday, Oct. 1, at a public meeting.
