Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve Budget Ordinance Amendment No. 23BCC00049 appropriating $1,344,307.20 of General Fund restricted fund balance to increase expenditure authority for Cooperative Extension, Social Services, Library, CJRC, and Youth Home. This revenue is unspent monies that were received prior to June 30, 2022, for specific restricted purposes and became restricted fund balance at the end of FY 2021-22.
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 2022-23 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 2021-22 to be allocated in FY 2022-23:
