Significant Budget Issues
• The potential unraveling of effective program gains with caseload reduction and direct services provided due to the
uncertainty of local as well as State of Washington, Department of Social and Health Services and Administrative Office of
the Courts funding as of FY 09 (July 2009). We have been successful in the past keeping pace with salary and program
costs, however, the continued increase in medical benefits and future COLA’s is of great concern to the department.
• Adequate funding for food for our detainees is a major concern due to ever increasing costs for such staples as dairy
items, meats, and transportation cost add-ons for all staple items.
• Medical service costs for detained youth are a continuing concern; we will have to cut service hours or increase funding.
• A new contract for Detention and S-CRC will be negotiated.
• The Juvenile Department, unlike most other departments, is faced with ever increasing costs for electricity, water, waste
management and maintaining the buildings.
