Budget update: mid‑year spending below target; $115,000 in disaster funds posted or expected
Summary
The county budget presenter told the board overall county spending was under a 50% midyear target, with administrative spending at about 42.8% and program spending around 51.3%; staff said $15,000 in APS funds and $100,000 in child‑welfare funds had been received and will be posted to the January report.
Miss Price presented the department’s financial report for July through December 2025 and told the board the department should be at roughly 50% spending at midyear.
"You'll see it's at 42.81% spending. That's 7.19% under," Price said, describing administrative spending rates; she listed program and total spending as approximately 51.3% and 46.94%, respectively. Price identified professional services imaging (document imaging and shredding) as the administrative line over budget for the month.
Price also reported that the department received additional one‑time funds that had not yet been reflected in the December balances: "We actually got additional $15,000 in your APS money, and we actually got an additional $100,000 in child welfare funds," she said, and noted those receipts would appear on the January report.
Board members asked routine questions about specific lines and whether any budget amendments would be required. Price said foster care spending might need a budget amendment and that she would post the additional disaster and child‑welfare funds in the next report.
No formal budget amendments were adopted at the meeting; staff said they will return with any recommended amendments in subsequent reports.
