1. 

Create New Appropriations Within Budget Control & Approve Transfers Out; or Create New Appropriations Within Budget Control Offset by Transfers In (4/5 Vote Required)

 

The Budget Controls detailed on Budget Adjustment Summary – Table A, experienced one of two situations:

 

 

+ Shortfalls in certain appropriation categories, including transfers out, which were covered by appropriation of unanticipated revenue or decreases to Fund Balance or Net Position within each Budget Control; or

 

+ Unanticipated revenue resulting from transfers in which require offsetting increases to appropriations.

 

 

In accordance with Government Code Sections 25252, 29130, and Board Resolution 91-1143, direct the Auditor-Controller to make the changes as presented in Budget Adjustment Summary – Table A.

 

2. 

Shift Appropriations Between Funds and Budget Controls within the General Fund (4/5 Vote Required)

 

The Budget Controls detailed on Budget Adjustment Summary – Table B, experienced a shortfall in an appropriation category after all excess revenues were appropriated, moved between categories and no available appropriations in any other Budget Controls within the General Fund controlled by the Department.  Appropriations were available in the following Budget Controls to cover the shortfall:  Miscellaneous (004), Utilities (040), Performance Audit (050), Office of Independent Review (051), Employee Benefits (056), Probation (057),  Treasurer-Tax Collector (074) and Internal Audit (079).

 

In addition, unanticipated revenue was available in County General Fund Budget Control (100) to offset an appropriations increase in Transfers Out from Miscellaneous, Budget Control 004, to the Local Courthouse Construction Fund (105).  This is to write-off the remaining unpaid interfund loan from the County General Fund to the Local Courthouse Construction Fund.

 

In accordance with Government Code Section 25252, 29009, 29125, 29130 and Board Resolution 91-1143, direct the Auditor-Controller to make the changes as presented in Budget Adjustment Summary – Table B.

 

3. 

Increase Fund Balance Restricted (4/5 Vote Required)

 

An increase in General Fund’s Restricted Fund Balance is needed to preserve funding for realigned public safety and health and human services programs in accordance with State legislation in the upcoming fiscal year.  In addition, Teeter Series A Debt Service Fund’s (15Y) Restricted Fund Balance was increased due to cancellation of a transfer in to County General Fund (100) no longer needed to offset appropriations deficits.

 

In accordance with Government Code Section 25252, 29125, 29130, and Board Resolution 91-1143, direct the Auditor-Controller to decrease fund balance unassigned and increase fund balance restricted as follows:
