Recommendation Concerning Supplemental Budget Amendment #124 - Stephan Hall, Budget Manager, Management and Budget Services

That the Board adopt the Resolution approving Supplemental Budget Amendment #124, General Fund (001), in the amount of $25,862, to recognize funds received from the Florida Department of Health reimbursing Escambia County for chemical and equipment expenditures associated with enhanced Zika Mosquito control services, and to appropriate these funds back into the Fiscal Year 2016/2017 Mosquito Control Budget.

A public health emergency order (16-149) was issued from the Office of the Governor regarding the spread of the Zika virus on February 3, 2016 to portions of South Florida. The order was amended on June 23, 2016 to add more counties to the affected area, including Escambia County. Through this action, supplemental funding was provided to affected counties to enhance mosquito control activities to minimize the spread of the Zika virus. During fiscal year 2016-2017, this resulted in a funding enhancement of $25,862 received under terms and conditions of the Scope of Work 16-011 towards purchases of treatment chemicals and equipment as well as overtime funding for enhanced mosquito response activities.
