Summary
The board approved a budget transfer moving $3 million from permanent salaries and retirement to professional and specialized services and interfund transfers to cover payments to contracted Medi‑Cal providers and June interfund transfers for FY 2024–25.
Madera County Behavioral Health Services requested and the board approved a budget adjustment transferring $3,000,000 from permanent salaries and retirement accounts to professional and specialized services and interfund transfers to ensure timely payments to contracted partners.
Aaron Garcia, fiscal manager for Behavioral Health Services, briefed the board, saying the reallocation covers contracted providers who serve Medi‑Cal beneficiaries and ensures sufficient funding for month‑end general service transfers for June of FY 2024–25.
