RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation Concerning Supplemental Budget Amendment #223 Reversing some Interfund Transfers from the General Fund and Recognizing and Transferring to the General Fund Work Release Revenues - Amy Lovoy, Assistant County Administrator
That the Board adopt the Resolution approving Supplemental Budget Amendment #223 in the General Fund (001), Code Enforcement Fund (103), Misdemeanor Probation Fund (114), and the Transportation Trust Fund (175), in the amount of ($400,000), to reduce the transfers from the General Fund to certain funds, to recognize the proceeds of the Work Release Center revenues, and transfer these funds to the General Fund.
BACKGROUND:
This supplemental budget amendment will reduce the transfers from the General Fund to the Code Enforcement Fund by $400,000 and to the Transportation Trust Fund by $1,000,000 since these transfers will not be necessary by the end of the fiscal year and will consolidate balances into the General Fund. In addition this supplemental budget amendment recognizes the proceeds of work release revenues over the budget estimate by $1,000,000 and reduces reserves in that fund by $200,000 and transfers this total amount to the General Fund.
Since the explosion the County work release center has housed regular inmates and internally billed the County $15 per day per inmate. Since these funds are not necessary to maintain the operations of the work release center. Most of the proceeds of these billings are not necessary to the operations of the center and result in a large accumulation of cash in that fund.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
This supplemental budget amendment reduces certain transfers from the General Fund and transfers the proceeds of billings at the work release center and consolidates these funds in the General Fund.
