FUNDING: Fleet Internal Service Fund.
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
When the Fiscal Year 2023-24 (FY 23-24) budget for the Department of Transportation, Fleet Division (Fleet) was developed, Fleet did not know there would be a large number of vehicles carried forward from Fiscal Year 2022-23 that were not received. When these vehicles were added to the FY 23-24 budget, the depreciation budget was not updated. Approval of this budget transfer would increase appropriations for depreciation by $300,000 offset by an increase to charges for services.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could choose not to approve the budget transfer, and Fleet would not be able to depreciate fixed assets in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
