洛杉矶县启动2027至28财年预算优先事项居民调查：542亿美元预算怎么花，县府请近千万居民排序
加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县县府近日启动2027至28财年预算优先事项居民调查，邀请居民就县府服务的价值与优先顺序发表意见，结果将用于编制下一财年预算。洛杉矶县是全美最大的县级政府，服务近1,000万居民；监事会此前已批准2026至27财年542亿美元的最终预算，优先方向包括住房与安全网服务、野火恢复、应急准备与公民参与。
县府表示，广泛了解公众如何看待各项服务、如何为服务排序，是预算工作的一个重要环节。调查面向全县居民开放，居民可就住房、公共安全、医疗与心理健康、公园、交通等县政服务的相对重要性表达意见；县府将汇总结果，作为监事会审议新财年预算时的参考。
按县府的预算流程，监事会掌握这个数百亿美元预算的最终决定权，预算覆盖县营医院与诊所、警长与消防、公园图书馆、公共工程与社会服务等系统。县府提醒，居民除填写调查外，也可在监事会预算听证阶段提交书面意见或到场发言。
县府近年持续扩大预算编制阶段的公众参与，包括在各选区举行说明活动与在线征集意见。本次调查的入口与说明已刊于洛杉矶县官网的预算专题页面，县府呼吁居民在调查期内尽早提交，以便意见能赶在预算草案定稿前被纳入汇总。
Los Angeles County Opens Resident Survey on Budget Priorities for the $54.2 Billion FY 2027-28 Budget
Los Angeles County, California, has opened a resident survey on budget priorities for fiscal year 2027-28, inviting the public to weigh in on how they value county services ahead of the next budget cycle. Los Angeles County is the largest county government in the United States, serving nearly 10 million residents. The Board of Supervisors previously approved a final budget of $54.2 billion for fiscal year 2026-27, prioritizing housing and safety-net services, wildfire recovery, emergency preparedness and civic engagement.
The county said getting a broad view of how the public thinks about and values its services is an important part of the budget process. The survey asks residents to rank the relative importance of services including housing, public safety, health and mental health care, parks and transportation, and the results will be compiled for the Board as it considers the new fiscal year budget.
Under the county's process, the Board of Supervisors holds final authority over the multi-billion-dollar budget, which funds county hospitals and clinics, the sheriff and fire departments, parks and libraries, public works and social services. The county notes residents can also submit written comments or speak during the Board's budget hearings.
The county has expanded public engagement during budget development in recent years, including district-level events and online input. The survey and instructions are posted on the county's budget pages at lacounty.gov, and the county is encouraging residents to respond early in the survey period so their views are included before the draft budget is finalized.
