Financial Impact:
In the proposed mid-year budget, various departments within the General Fund are seeking an increase in their expenditure appropriations. The total requested increase in expenditure appropriations amounts to $349,520. Additionally, there is a recommended increase in revenue appropriations of $469,313. Among the departments seeking additional funds within the Public Safety sector are the District Attorney, Probation, and Sheriff's Office. Collectively, they have requested a net increase of $139,303 for expenditure appropriations. This request is accompanied by a net increase in revenue appropriations totaling $706,430. Examining the entire County's budget, the total net increase in expenditure appropriations is estimated to be $1,849,291. Conversely, the recommended increase in revenue reaches $3,057,140. It is worth noting that out of this total, $940,146 is being requested for the General Fund. Overall, there is a considerable need for additional funding across various departments, particularly in Public Safety. The increase in revenue appropriations is expected to offset these requested expenditures, ensuring the smooth functioning of county services.
Background Information:
If the FY 2023-24 mid-year budget does not receive approval from the Board, it would remain unchanged and the necessary adjustments to department accounts would not be made. These adjustments are crucial in ensuring that the budget balances within the existing appropriations and fulfills the obligations for the remainder of the fiscal year. Without the revisions and adjustments, there could be a lack of funds allocated to different departments, leading to potential financial constraints and an inability to meet necessary obligations. This highlights the importance of obtaining Board approval or alternate direction from the Board to ensure the smooth functioning of departmental accounts and overall fiscal stability for the remainder of the fiscal year.
