Request for Board Action:
Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve Budget Ordinance Amendment No.26BCC074 Appropriating General Fund Restricted Fund Balance Totaling $538,727 to Increase Expenditure Authority for Public Health. This revenue is unspent funds that were received prior to June 30, 2025, for specific restricted purposes (most often grant-related) and became restricted fund balance at the end of FY 2024-25.
This budget amendment is an annual process in which County departments identify remaining (unspent) restricted revenue (e.g., grant, federal/state award, donations, etc.). Because they are restricted in General Fund fund balance, there is no impact on unassigned fund balance. This is a budgetary entry only for FY 2025-26 to allow the spending of the restricted monies for the purposes of which they were received rather than spending County funds which is in accordance with the County’s spending hierarchy (e.g., restricted funding before unrestricted funding).
Below is a list of programs with restricted fund balance as of FY 2024-25 to be allocated in FY 2025-26:
