The measure increases sales tax across the county by five-eighths of a cent for every one dollar spent, and is in place for five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams and his staff recommended putting all of the Measure A money for the current budget year into Santa Clara Valley Healthcare, the county’s public hospital and clinic system, to help lessen the blow from Medicaid cuts enacted by Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12058486\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12058486\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/250924-ELECTION-SJ-MEASURE-A_00662_TV-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/250924-ELECTION-SJ-MEASURE-A_00662_TV-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/250924-ELECTION-SJ-MEASURE-A_00662_TV-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/250924-ELECTION-SJ-MEASURE-A_00662_TV-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Santa Clara Valley Medical Center stands on 751 South Bascom Avenue in San José on Sept. 29, 2025. \u003ccite>(Tâm Vũ/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>County supervisors also previously approved nearly $200 million in budget cuts in February during the mid-year budget review, including cutting roughly 365 positions that were largely vacant and focused on the county’s healthcare system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While planning for 655 cuts, the county is simultaneously considering adding 191 positions, especially in areas that are growing but aren’t reliant on federal funds, like parks and libraries, for a net cut of 464 positions, Williams said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two county-run behavioral health clinics are expected to be closed, but Williams said the services will be transitioned to other facilities or community organizations that provide services for the county already.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ellenberg said the idea of consolidating clinics on its face doesn’t worry her too much, so long as people who need those services aren’t challenged to find them elsewhere nearby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she added that in general, the on-the-ground impacts from broad budget recommendations to alter contracts and leases and reduce positions is where she will focus as supervisors go through budget workshops and reviews next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are many aspects of it that are not yet clear to me, particularly around impact… I need to understand how that impacts particular populations, especially the very high-need and vulnerable residents that the county serves,” Ellenberg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12044070\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1999px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12044070\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/250612-SCCVERMONT-JG-4_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1999\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/250612-SCCVERMONT-JG-4_qed.jpg 1999w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/250612-SCCVERMONT-JG-4_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/250612-SCCVERMONT-JG-4_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1999px) 100vw, 1999px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Santa Clara County Supervisor Susan Ellenberg, speaks during an event celebrating the opening of Vermont House, a new residential treatment facility in San José for people leaving jail with mental health needs. \u003ccite>(Joseph Geha/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Williams said the county has been aiming to preserve or expand services for those in most need across the county.
