Board approves two write-offs and hears mid-year budget update
Summary
The board approved two client write-offs (one for $1,334.82 and a second with $2,661.17 written off while county pursues $10,000 in small-claims) and received a mid-year budget report showing expenses and revenues roughly on track but potential volatility from placement costs.
Finance staff presented a request to write off a 2020 hospital charge of $1,334.82 that had exceeded the statute of limitations; the board moved, seconded and approved the write-off. Staff then detailed a second long-standing debt of $12,661.17 and asked the board to write off $2,661.17 and pursue small-claims for the remaining roughly $10,000; the board approved that action as well.
The board then received a mid-year budget update: the department is about 57% of the way through the year; reported actual expenses were about 46% of budget (54.46% when including pass-through adjustments) and revenue recognized was about 56.42%. Staff highlighted several line items to watch, including crisis intervention, child and family services, and a high CCS billing year last year that returned $645,000 to the department. Managers said they will continue monthly check-ins to monitor spending and flagged that placement costs can swing budgets quickly.
