Cook County Board of Commissioners Executive Budget Recommendation

These include improving public health outcomes, fostering an equitable justice system, providing economic development opportunities for marginalized communities, investing in transportation infrastructure, modernizing service delivery through technology, and promoting fiscal sustainability. The budget addresses economic growth, federal policy risks, and the need for reserves. It also establishes a Federal Grant Risk Mitigation Fund and a Health Enterprise Adjusted Fund Balance. The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds community initiatives, including medical debt relief, behavioral health services, violence prevention, stormwater management, and broadband expansion.
