VANCOUVER – County Manager Kathleen Otto has presented her recommended 2023 budget to the county council for consideration.
“The recommendations for the 2023 annual budget address appropriate level of reserves; minimizing impacts to services and residents; and critical needs,” Otto said during a recent presentation to council. “Additional budget items will be considered in early 2023 including compensation considerations, capital projects, and any outstanding jail transition-related items.”
