2022-2023 Budget Information & Schedule

Ramsey County’s 2022-2023 budget process has begun. The budget process seeks to advance the vision, mission and goals established by the board of commissioners and the strategic priorities outlined in the county's strategic plan.​

This cycle, the budget will:

  • Continue our focus on countywide strategic initiatives which support countywide goals.
  • Sustain and scale initiatives and programs that build stronger communities.
  • Build on organizational lessons learned in the past two years and during the pandemic which need to be operationalized (i.e. process, structure, etc.).
  • Be more closely aligned to what is actually spent.
  • Foster collaboration within and across Service Teams.
  • Tether and make progress on performance measures.
  • Demonstrate innovation, creativity or efficiency (one-time or ongoing funds).
