Director Amy Pluym told the board that at the 25% point of the year the agency has recognized 15% of its revenues and 25% of its expenses; Out-of-Home Placement comprises 17% of the budget and state-operated/acute-care hospitalizations are at 27% of their budget line.
Pluym also described recent legislative outreach through MACSSA, noting meetings with Senator Hoffman and Representatives West and Baker. She said the county received consistent support for modernization priorities but that legislators were "not supportive of the Governor's proposal in its current form." Pluym shared that staff received a commendation letter from DHS for perfect financial reporting in calendar year 2025 and that the board will form workgroups to implement strategic-plan items focused on community outreach, agency culture, and staff development and retention.
