Board Members,
I’m not sure that all of you received this information, so just toss if you got it directly from CSAC.
This has good information on the impacts of the Governor’s May Revise to safety net programs, and
the united effort to obtain some backfill in the short-term.
Shari

To: CSAC Board of Directors
County Administrative/Executive Officers
County Legislative Coordinators
From: Graham Knaus, CSAC Executive Director
Darby Kernan, CSAC Deputy Executive Director for Legislative Services
CSAC and 10 county affiliate organizations have requested state assistance to support 1991 and
2011 Realignment and the critical county public health, human services, behavioral health, and
public safety services administered by counties on the state’s behalf. The attached letter outlines the
magnitude of the Realignment shortfall and seeks state or other funding to support the 2018-19
base amounts for all subaccounts within Realignment.
We urge all counties grappling with the steep declines in Realignment funding to communicate
those impacts to the Governor and your state legislative delegation. Please also share with us, too.
Thank you,
Graham Knaus
CSAC Executive Director

CSAC Deputy Executive Director of Legislative Affairs
