Board approves revised CY 2027 DOC grant budget after 10% reduction; EM portion cut
Summary
Board approved a revised CY 2027 Department of Corrections grant budget after staff said the department received a 10% reduction and that the Electronic Monitoring portion was removed; staff said the cut strengthens a case to move grant administration to the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute.
At the July 9 meeting, Executive Director Kevin Mulroony told the advisory board that Hamilton County Community Corrections received a 10% reduction to its CY 2027 Department of Corrections (DOC) grant and that the Electronic Monitoring portion of the grant was the only program cut. "Mr. Mulroony discussed the CY 2027 Revised DOC Grant Budget and noted that the department received a 10% reduction," the minutes state.
Mulroony said the reduction could strengthen the argument for transitioning Community Corrections grant oversight from DOC to the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute, which focuses on grant administration. He expressed hope that DOC will consider the change in time for presentation to the State House in the fall. The board voted unanimously to approve the revised DOC budget.
Board members did not record amendments to the budget in the minutes; staff indicated additional Project Income funds will be needed to offset the grant reduction. The decision was recorded as an approval without dissent.
