It appears amendment 3 has passed, which means that county’s discretionary budget (the funding not mandatorily designated for other services under state law) will drop from $74 million to $3 million.

What is likely to come next, and how is Leon County likely to make up the revinue shortfall?

I rounded to the nearest million, but according to the county, currently that $74 million goes to:

• Public Safety & EMS: $37 million
• Parks & Recreation Dept: $11 million
• Library Services: $10 million
• Growth Management & Roads: $6 million
• Criminal Justice (Probation/Diversion): $3 million
• Community Human Services & Emergency Assistance: $2 million
• Primary Health Care: $2 million
• Housing Services: $1 million
• Mosquito Control: $1 million
• Sustainability & Cooperative Extension: $1 million
• Other Administration & Reserves: $1 million

Are these programs likely to be cut? A lot of those programs are a big part of what makes living here special.

Does the county have a plan to keep from having cuts to these services?

Edited to add: what can we do to keep things like our parks and libraries that make Leon County special?
