The $10,000 in funding for recreation is included as well as the $20,000 in shared funding between Social Services and Aging. The state funds for the adult piece of the criminal justice program administered by the agency will be paid directly to the providers and therefore is not included in the budget. There are some additional conversations that will be held to determine what other justice activities within the county can be coordinated. There is one position change. A time-limited custodial position classified as an Aide will be replaced with a permanent custodian. Ms. Coston noted the first meeting with county management on the budget will be held next week. There is enough lapsed salary to cover the deficit but it is unclear whether that will be allowed to happen. Some counties have position shells that allow them to continuously advertise and hire since there is so much turnover.
