Good afternoon, everyone.

We will go ahead and get started.

My name is Carly Duffy.

Let's go ahead and I am CFO for the Office of Public Health and Safety.

And chair of the board, if we could do roll call.

Sandra Hardin, Marion County Probation.

Bailey Rentry, Board Council.

Jeffrey Marshall, Marion Superior Court.

Dan Shakini, Mary County Prosecutor's Office.

Anita Hall, community liaison.

Excellent.

So in the interest of time, we are not at quorum currently, but we will go ahead and move forward with the meeting.

Currently, for our agenda, looks like the only thing that requires a vote.

Well, are the minutes for the meet for last meeting?

So we will table that for now.

And once we reach quorum, if we do, then we'll vote at that time.

And if we do not, then we will hold that until the next meeting, and then we'll vote on the minutes for the next meeting.

So excellent.

So we will get started with our next option, our next item, sorry.

Marion County Community Corrections contract presentation.

Good afternoon, members of the board.

But I felt were very important and needed to be addressed, and I will go over those after he goes over the actual numbers that we have here.

And we'll skip all the kind of the who we are as an agency and all that.

I believe this board is well aware of all that information.

All right, so we'll start here at slide eight.

This is just a budget overview total by fund.

Our total 2027 budget is projected to be just over 23.3 million.

Funding obviously comes from several sources, including County General, Public Safety Income Tax Fund, State Grant, and program specific funds, such as the home detention and community transition program.

So when you actually look at the uh the numbers and the funds, three funds account for 94% of our budgeting or of our budget.

County general at 39%, public safety income tax at 30%, and then our state grant at 25%.

All right, this slide here just basically shows you the trends from year to year.

Uh this is going from 2005 or 2025 to 2027.

Um you can see modest increases in characters one, two, and three uh year to year.

This really just kind of aligns with adjustments and staffing, contract costs, and agency needs.

And then obviously you'll you'll notice curative four has uh remained pretty much unchanged.

And I'll explain that kind of in the that specific characters breakdown in the slides to come.

Revenue.

So our three main sources of revenue are electronic monitor user fees, brick release user fees, and then community transition uh programming.

Something kind of interesting about this, and I'm gonna kind of focus on the revenue trends here.

So in 2025, uh we billed approximately 3.4 million dollars in user fees.

The county collected 15% or 520, just over 523,000 of that 3.4 million.

Most of the payments that we received came through tax intercept, which was 81% of that 523,000.

19% came from direct payments from active participants.

The total amount collected from active users when compared to the total amount that was billed, which was the 3.4 million, uh, comes out to just over 3%.

Uh so we're actually collecting very little from active participants.

Most of our money is coming through the tax intercept.

This is likely due to structural barriers that limit our clients' ability to pay, uh, but also remains an important area for ongoing evaluation.

Go ahead because I'll do everything at the end.

All right, this next slide, grants.

Uh, we secured significant grant funding uh for next year.

Uh two major sources the Indiana Department of Correction Grant and also the Justice Assistance Grant or JAG grant.

Although grant opportunities have decreased compared to prior years.

Uh our full-time grant specialist and partnership.

We also had a partnership uh with the American Institute uh for research, which has really helped us maintain steady progress in not only identifying but also in becoming more and more competitive in submitting our grants.

All right, and we'll just get into a uh character by character uh breakdown here.

So this first slide is character one.

We're seeing an increase in just over $577,000 in our character one budget.

This is mostly uh due to cola adjustments, step in grade implementation, and a modest rise in health insurance costs.

Uh OFM requested that we were freeze four active positions until April 1st of next year, and also set our attrition rate at 7%, which was a little down from last year, uh, really to reflect historical trends.

Areas of concern, lower attrition or reduced overtime uh could create safety concerns, uh especially at Deval Residential Center for Security, and then in our 24 hour uh client services department character two.
