Board approves FY27 budget adjustments, re‑allocates $138,403 to client services
Summary
The board approved amended FY27 budget documents and a decision memo that increases projected investment income (to $200,000), accounts for a likely 20% health‑insurance spike, and reallocates savings and adjustments to add $138,403 to client services.
Finance staff walked the board through FY27 budget amendments and the decision memo, which the board approved after a motion and second.
Key adjustments included increasing projected investment income from $50,000 to $200,000 based on conversations with the county treasurer; budgeting $24,000 to contract out physical‑plant maintenance after county facilities staff indicated they could not provide the service; and identifying a roughly $40,000 increase for health insurance following county guidance indicating a likely 20% cost rise. The largest net effect of the set of amendments was an increase of $138,403 directed into client‑service funding.
Board members also discussed classification and personnel changes that reduced salary and benefit projections by $7,138 and clarified that phone expense will drop because of a new county phone system (phone expense revised down to $8,000 from $38,000). The board moved to approve the amended decision memo and the associated budget adjustments.
Why it matters: The amendments shift more dollars to direct services and reflect both operational savings and new costs; the approval gives staff authority to proceed under the revised FY27 figures.
