Title
Clerk of the Board recommending the Board approve and authorize the Chair to sign a budget transfer increasing appropriations for Salaries and Benefits in the amount of $30,000 from General Fund Contingency, and other budget adjustments within the department. (4/5 vote required)
FUNDING: General Fund.
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The Board of Supervisors and Office of the Clerk of the Board are projected to exceed their budgeted Salaries and Benefits appropriations for Fiscal Year 2025-26, primarily due to unbudgeted salary increases, unplanned employee separations requiring payouts for accrued leave, and increased health insurance expenses. A portion of the increased costs will be covered by savings in Services and Supplies and increases in revenues. This budget transfer also includes an adjustment to move appropriations from Services and Supplies to intrafund transfers out for facilities service requests.
ALTERNATIVES
Should the Board opt not to approve the enclosed budget transfer, it would result in the department experiencing inadequate salary and benefits appropriations at the end of Fiscal Year 2025-26 and a shortfall in appropriations for department billable facilities service requests.
