Body

DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION

The Auditor-Controller recommends that the Board of Supervisors authorize the transfer of $2,969.85 accumulated from FY 2015/16 from the County's Cash Overage Fund to the General Fund.

 

DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND

Government Code section 29380 requires that the Board of Supervisors annually approve the transfer of the balance from the County's Cash Overage Fund to the General Fund.  The Cash Overage Fund is a cumulative account for payments for services received that exceed the required fees.  For example, when someone wants a document recorded and they mail a check for recording fees, if the amount received is in excess of the fees charged, the County has no mechanism to "refund" these fees.  Therefore the excess proceeds are placed in the Cash Overage Fund and transferred to the General Fund annually.
