As indicated in the letter, each county is required under
Government Code (GC) §7903 to include the full value of these
subventions within the county’s appropriation limit starting in
FY 2021-22 and in each subsequent year thereafter. Additionally,
GC §7903 requires each county to identify the amount
attributable to these subventions in excess of their limit and
report that information to DOF.
As further detailed in the letter, the accompanying
FY 2025-26 spreadsheet identifies the cumulative total of
these subventions to be included in each county’s appropriations
limit and provides additional details regarding the amounts
attributable to each subvention, as well as the statutory
references to each subvention. Counties are asked to report any
such subventions to DOF by November 1, 2026.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, DOF’s identified
point of contact is Susan Wekanda, Principal Program Budget
Analyst, who can be reached via email at Susan.Wekanda@dof.ca.gov,
