Summary
A county department head reported FY26 budget figures for adult and juvenile supervision—$535,862.06 for adults and $312,517.55 for juveniles—said staffing levels and savings allowed plans to buy vehicles, and noted expected leftover budget percentages of about 8% (adult) and 4.5% (juvenile).
A department director (unnamed in the transcript) briefed the commission on fiscal year 2026 budget planning for community supervision programs.
The director said the adult supervision budget for FY26 is $535,862.06 and the juvenile budget is $312,517.55. The director said they had planned to buy one vehicle in FY25 for building upkeep but instead purchased three earlier; for FY26 they plan to update the Pratt County office and, if funds remain, purchase one additional vehicle, leaving one older vehicle from about 2012–2013 in service.
The director also reported savings from changing phone service to IdeaTek, reducing monthly phone costs from about $800–$900 for four offices to roughly $200, and said two staff members lost benefits (moved to spouse coverage), freeing additional funds. The director estimated the adult side will have roughly 8 percent of the budget left over and the juvenile side about 4.5 percent at year end.
No county vote was taken; the update was presented to inform commissioners about staffing, equipment plans and near‑term budget priorities.
