Title
Chief Administrative Office recommending the Board approve a Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget transfer increasing estimated revenues and appropriations in the Alternative Dispute Resolution special revenue fund in the amount of $12,000 for payment of invoices from the El Dorado County Superior Court for the provision of alternative dispute resolution services pursuant to Business and Professions Code 470.5. (4/5 vote required)
FUNDING: Alternative Dispute Resolution Special Revenue Fund.
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The County receives a monthly distribution of funding from the Administrative Office of the Courts for the support of dispute resolution programs within the County, pursuant to Business and Professions Code 470.5. The funds are deposited into a Special Revenue Fund and are used for payment of invoices from the El Dorado County Superior Court for the provision of alternative dispute resolution services per Agreement 6563. The actual cost of the services provided by the Court exceeds funding available each month. Therefore, per the Agreement, the Court invoices the County in an amount equal to the revenue received for the month.
In Fiscal Year 2024-25, the total revenue received exceeded the amount projected and budgeted. Consequently, the amount due to the Court also exceeds appropriations. The recommended budget transfer increases estimated revenue based on the projected final payments to be received and increases appropriations to allow for payment of the funds to the Court.
ALTERNATIVES
There are no notable alternatives that would allow for payment of funds per the Agreement.
