The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 on Aug. 25 to approve a $566,321 supplemental budget for fiscal year 2026-27 under the Proposition 64 Cohort 4 budgets involving the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office and the Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Branch, according to the board’s action summary.
The action allocates one full-time-equivalent sheriff sergeant and one full-time-equivalent deputy sheriff I/II position, both effective immediately. The budget is listed in the Sheriff Operations — Prop. 64 budget unit.
The action summary does not identify how the $566,321 will be divided between the Sheriff’s Office and Public Health, describe the positions’ assignments or state whether the positions will continue beyond the fiscal year. The board agenda identifies a grant agreement and a supplemental-budget attachment for the item, but those details are not included in the action summary.
