Prepared by: Sean Griffin, Director of Budget and Finance - DMH Prepared On: 9/2/2025 Dut paf SUE SERINO COUNTY EXECUTIVE JEAN-MARIE NIEBUHR, LCSW-R COMMISSIONER DUTCHESS COUNTY GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH MEMORANDUM To: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Sue Serino, Dutchess County Executive Sean Griffin, Director of Budget and Finance - DMH September 2, 2025 Resolution Request - Amending 2025 Budget to reflect increase in State Aid Allocations This resolution is focused on adjusting the 2025 budget to account for additional State Aid received by Dutchess County's Department of Mental Health (DMH). The key points of the resolution include: • State Aid Increase: DMH has received additional State Aid through cost of living adjustments (COLA) and increased contractual aid. Revised State Aid letters related to Office of Mental Health (OMH) and Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS) programs were used to support the resolution request. • Pass-Through Funding: The additional funds will be passed through to contract agencies that provide services on behalf of Dutchess County. These agencies are reliant on DMH for funding to deliver programs funded by the state. • No Net Impact: The resolution emphasizes that this additional funding will not impact the county's budget, as the funds are being passed through from the state to the contract agencies. • County Programs and Services: DMH is not seeking to increase revenues or appropriations for State Aid directly tied to County-provided programs or services, as existing appropriations are sufficient to meet 2025 program needs. Additional revenue will be recognized through year-end process to reduce the net cost to the county. Ultimately, the resolution will authorize DMH to amend the budget to ensure the proper distribution of these additional funds to the intended agencies.
