these implementation reports.

Discuss AB 109 FY 2024–2025 Budget Narratives

Reviewed the AB 109 budget narratives for FY 2024-2025 and identified inconsistencies in

reporting. Submissions lacked transparency, outcome data, and justification for budget

modifications.

Emphasizing the need for greater accountability

Conduct research on how other counties report on AB 109 funding and develop a standardized

template requiring all agencies to provide a clear funding rationale, service utilization data,

outcome measures, and monitoring practices to ensure that AB 109 funds are effectively

serving community members.

Update on the Timeline and Status of the Request for Proposals (RFPs)

The Employment & Human Services Department (EHSD); Behavioral Health; Health, Housing,

and Homeless Services; and the Workforce Development Board (WFDB) will present updates

on AB 109 Excess Funds at the CAB General Meetings in May, June, and July.

Additionally, the subcommittee has requested that County Human Resources be invited to

provide an update and discuss their collaboration with WFDB concerning the use of AB 109

Excess Funds.

The next meeting is currently scheduled for Monday, May 19, 2025, at 11 a.m.

Next Steps:

1. Research how other county’s structure and report their budget narratives

2. Request a presentation from the Office of Reentry & Justice on the Community

Corrections Performance Incentive

3. Develop a standardized reporting template

4. Invite County agencies to share updates on their AB 109-funded programs

5. Invite Human Resources to present on the AB 109 Excess Funding recommendations
