What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda
This archive found it in the recording: a call to order, a recess, or business the board never listed. The county recorded nothing about it, so everything below is our reading.

Alright. So it might seem like we're jumping based off, you know, past years and and when we show stuff, like we're kind of jumping in the middle, but we're really jumping into where we left off last month. And so here what you're looking at are What we're calling state mandated outside funding. So there are things the state mandates for us to fund. Now it's important to note this is not the totality of what the state mandates from us, but these are things that we fund, not necessarily services
we provide. So that's kind of kind of an important distinction. The only thing that's increasing this year as you can see is our Medicaid contribution. It's a 6% increase to the tune of $631,000.
We'll still save safe for that for a minute. So keep in mind now. With what we would put in our budget normally is one thing. This here again state mandated funding that we have to do. So as we as we consider what's gonna happen down the road When the state says you're gonna spend this much money for public safety, et cetera, this is what's also in there that they are not addressing at this point to what we need to fund. So just keep that in mind. This is another chunk of money that's gotta be paid. They're not allowing
for it, but somehow they're gonna look for us to do it. So somewhere there's gonna be a shift. Or it's gonna be increase it for taxes as far as to pay for the stuff based upon what they're projecting.
Commissioner Weightman. Chair Amy.
Yes.
Uh under the Bay Caroline item what are we getting for One point two million.
Um Paulo Baricaldo is gonna come and answer your question. Thank you.
Good morning Commissioners. Uh Paulo Baracaldo Support Services. So the Bay Care contract actually covers uh physical and behavioral health services for our most vulnerable residents. And this is an actual five year contract.
That's mandatory.
That's correct.
Thank you.
Thank you, Paula.
