Plumas County CCP begins planning for FY 2026–27 budget, weighing a 'rollover' approach amid tight funds
Summary
Committee members discussed early steps for the CCP fiscal 2026–27 budget, including a possible rollover of the prior year's allocations, creation of a subcommittee to prioritize requests, and warnings that the committee's asks have outpaced revenue in recent years.
Plumas County’s Community Corrections Partnership began early planning for the FY 2026–27 budget on March 18, 2026, discussing options to maintain services while awaiting final fund‑balance figures from the county and state.
The chair said limited fund‑balance information and state funding details make it difficult to finalize a budget now and proposed the option of adopting a rollover budget — essentially carrying forward the current year's allocations pending final numbers — to preserve continuity of services.
Committee members emphasized fiscal caution. One member said the committee’s approved asks have outpaced revenue for the past two years and warned that relying on fund balance is unsustainable: "So mathematically that should be reduced every year. And at some point it's not going to be there anymore," the member said.
The chair suggested forming a smaller subcommittee to review applications and budget priorities prior to full‑committee review. The public defender asked whether defense services could apply through the RFP process; staff replied that the public defender can submit an RFP like other applicants.
No final budget allocations were approved; the committee agreed to continue planning and revisit specific budget decisions once fund‑balance and state funding information are available.
