[Funding: Fund 001, General Fund, Cost Center 270102, Object Code 53401, Other Contractual Services]

BACKGROUND:

The original Purchase Order for $22,000 was created for a single contractor to work in the IT Applications Division. Since the original creation of the Purchase Order, an Information Technology employee was placed on Military leave for 400 days and several Information Technology Help Desk employees have resigned from the County. The Information Technology Department has back filled these vacancies with contract employees on a temporary basis. It has been determined that an additional $35,000 is required to cover these temporary contract employees for the remaining Fiscal Year 2019/2020.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

Adding $35,000 to this Purchase Order will be budget neutral because payroll funds will not be spent on the vacated full time County positions. Budget Amendment #77 moved $35,000 from payroll funds to Fund 001, General Fund, Cost Center 270102, Object Code 53401, to cover the additional Contractor costs.
