District 19 CSB leader briefs board on performance contract amendments and possible local impacts
Summary
Terrell from District 19 summarized amendments to the state CSB performance contract (reporting, compliance, budget-match language and DOJ settlement items). Supervisors asked whether changes will affect the county budget; staff said local matches are managed and major increases are not anticipated but remain possible depending on state funding.
Terrell, representing District 19 Community Services Board, presented the annual performance contract and a set of amendments the state has proposed to the contract language. She said changes add clarity on CSB responsibilities, require consistent satisfaction surveys, streamline reporting language, add dispute‑resolution steps and adjust how program resources and local matches are handled. She also noted a Department of Justice settlement that affects some program requirements and reporting.
Supervisors asked whether the contract’s changes would require additional county funding for FY26. Terrell said the local match is driven by state funding levels; the CSB typically includes variance assumptions and works to avoid returning to localities for unplanned increases. The county attorney reviewed the document and flagged some grammatical and specificity issues; staff said they will continue to coordinate with the CSB and bring any substantive changes back to the board.
