Summary
Staff told the committee the developmental disabilities board, through president Sarah Makuta, requested an increase from $833,700 to $930,000 based on a 0.10% levy calculation; members asked for quarterly distribution details and clearer spending reports.
Staff reported the developmental disabilities board had submitted a request to increase its levy-based funding from $833,700 to $930,000, attributing the figure to a 0.10% levy calculation tied to estimated EAV numbers. The board president was named in the packet as Sarah Makuta; staff said they had contacted her on 07/16 regarding the request.
Committee members expressed concern about the size of the proposed increase and asked whether the county is legally obligated to pay the full requested amount or has discretionary authority. Members also requested more detailed expenditure and distribution reporting from the board before making final allocation decisions; staff committed to following up and to clarifying quarterly reporting expectations.
