AND I'VE SPOKEN BEFORE ABOUT THEY'VE CHANGED A LOT OF THE REGULATIONS THEY'VE BROUGHT IN THEM TO MAKE CHILD CARE MORE ACCESSIBLE TO MORE PEOPLE. SO THERE IS MORE MONEY THAT THEY'VE ALLOCATED. WHEN WE BUDGETED, WE BUDGETED IT ON THE PROJECTION OF, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE HAD FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. AND SO WE'RE SHY, BUT THIS IS ALL MONEY THAT'S AVAILABLE.IT'S JUST YOU CAN'T DRAW IT DOWN UNTIL YOU SPEND IT. SO IT'S OUR ALLOCATION FOR ONEIDA COUNTY.

[c. 2024-0976 – DFCS RE: TRANSFER OF $3,200,000.00 TO A 6010 6141.495-000 – OTHER EXPENSES (DFCS – SOCIAL SERVICES) ]
ZERO 976 IS DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY AND COMMUNITY SERVICES REQUESTING BUDGETARY TRANSFER FOR THE OFFSET SHORTAGES IN THE SAFETY NET ACCOUNT AND THE NUMBER OF HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS HAVE CONTINUED TO ESCALATE IN ONEIDA COUNTY. SO WE NEED TO DO THAT. SO THIS IS BASICALLY MOVING MONEY BECAUSE OF THE INCREASE IN THE HOMELESS, BECAUSE HOMELESSNESS IS BASED ON CATEGORICAL ELIGIBILITY. AND SAFETY NET IS ONE OF THE CATEGORIES. SO WE NEED TO PUT MORE MONEY IN THERE TO COVER THE INCREASE IN THE HOMELESS POPULATION. SO BASICALLY IT'S A TRANSFER TO COVER THOSE COSTS. OKAY. GREAT. ANY QUESTIONS FROM ANYONE IN THE COMMITTEE? GO AHEAD TIM. SO WE HAVE A SURPLUS IN THE JUVENILE DIVISION. WE REALLY DON'T. AND I WAS HOPING YOU WEREN'T ASKING THAT, BUT I'M GOING TO EXPLAIN. WELL, WHEN WE WENT, REMEMBER WHEN WE DID WHEN WE DID OUR BUDGET REVIEW. SO FOR THERE'S THREE ACCOUNTS THAT REALLY COVER ALL THE PLACEMENT COSTS THAT WE USE THAT WE HISTORICALLY HAVE UTILIZED. AND WE JUGGLE BETWEEN THOSE THREE ACCOUNTS. AGAIN, BASED ON CATEGORICAL ELIGIBILITY OF THE KIDS WHO ARE COMING INTO CARE.AND SO OVER THE LAST YEAR TO WE HAVE TO CLAIM THOSE COSTS. WE HAVE TO FOLLOW LIKE IT'S A STATE COMPOSITE SHEET. SO SOME OF IT HAS CHANGED. SO WE HAVE TO MOVE. IT'S ALL THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY, BUT WE KIND OF HAVE TO MOVE THAT MONEY AROUND. SO WE HAD AN EXCESS IN ONE. I'M GOING TO LET TAMMY HELP ME WITH THIS A LITTLE BIT. BUT WE HAD AN EXCESS IN ONE. SO FOR THE IMMEDIATE NEED WE USED IT FOR THIS. BUT ACTUALLY WE'RE GOING TO DO ANOTHER TRANSFER FROM I MADE IT VERY CONFUSING. SHE DID WHAT I DID WRONG. SHARE ACCOUNT, WHICH IS WHERE WE SHOULD HAVE DID THIS. WE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE MONEY SHARE TO THIS, AND THE MONEY THAT'S IN THIS ACCOUNT SHOULD HAVE GONE TO FROM THE JUVENILE DELINQUENTS OVER TO THE FOSTER CARE ACCOUNT, WHICH YOU'LL BE SEEING ANOTHER TRANSFER COMING TO OFFSET THAT. SO I MADE IT. NO, NOT REALLY, BECAUSE BASICALLY FROM YEAR TO YEAR IT REALLY IT'S ABOUT THE SAME. IT DEPENDS ON YOUR CATEGORIES. YOU EITHER GOT THE JUVENILE DELINQUENCY OR YOU GOT YOUR FOSTER CARE. IT DEPENDS ON WHICH CATEGORY THEY HIT. AND FOR SOME REASON OVER THE YEARS IT REALLY IF YOU'VE GOT AN EXCESS IN YOUR JUVENILE, YOUR OTHER ONE'S HIGH OR LOW, IT'S IF YOU PUT THEM TOGETHER IT USUALLY EVENS OUT. YEAH. BUT THIS MONEY WAS IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE MORE OR LESS. SO WE WERE ABLE TO ACCESS IT. SO THAT'S WHAT WE DID. I WAS SHE REALLY MADE IT VERY HARD ON ME, THE MEDICAID
[00:05:06]
MONEY IN THERE SO THAT THEY COULD PUT IT IN THE EXCESS MONEY FOR FINANCE AT THE OTHER END OF IT. BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. YEAH, I WAS TRYING TO GIVE IT BACK TO THE COUNTY, BUT I SEE THAT. NO, WE LIKE THAT. AND THE OTHER QUESTIONS FOR COLLEEN ON THIS DOCKET SEEING NONE WE'LL GO TO VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU SO MUCH COLLEEN. APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU AS ALWAYS. AND WE'LL TAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN. SO MOVED.* This transcript was compiled from uncorrected Closed Captioning.
