27. ADULT PROBATION DEPARTMENT REQUEST FOR REVIEW OVER BASELINE The Adult Probation department is seeking an exception to the FY 2017 Budget Guidelines and Priorities instructions that would allow the Office of Management & Budget to review and study the following requests (by fund and budget amounts) over the FY 2016 baseline budget allocations for the FY 2017 budget appropriations: Fund 100 General Fund, $2,961,440; Fund 255 Detention Fund $2,382,513; Fund 201 Probation Fees Fund $903,272: General Fund (Fund 100): $511,187 for Domestic Violence Supervision $608,821 for Sex Offender Supervision $155,530 for Seriously Mentally Ill Supervision $993,276 for Standard Probation Supervision $616,626 for space needs $76,000 for Department Operations Detention Fund (Fund 255): $375,343 for Pretrial Defendant Monitoring $936,755 for Prison Re-entry Supervision $313,545 for Intensive Probation Supervision $338,545 for Pretrial Electronic Monitoring $189,530 for Drug Court Supervision $152,530 for Community Reintegration Supervision $76,265 for Community Reintegration Intensive Probation Supervision Probation Fee Fund (Fund 201): $903,272 for the use of non-recurring fund balance The increasing population under Adult Probation supervision has increased the caseloads for Probation Officers beyond the previously agreed upon workload levels for safe operations. This increase in staffing and the supporting equipment will help the department address the additional workload that has been created by the current pre and post decree adjudication requirements (i.e. Pre-trial / Pre-sentence Reports and the Post-conviction Probation Trials that are required.) The department is also in need of additional office space and equipment for the additional staff being requested. (C-11-16-007-M-00)
