Title
Planning and Building Department recommending the Board adopt and authorize the Chair to sign Resolution 226-2019, rescinding a portion of prior Resolution 075-2016 and increasing the imprest cash funds for the Department by $300, for a total amount of $500.
FUNDING: General Fund.
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
On May 3, 2016, the Board adopted Resolution #075-2016, which established an imprest cash fund for the Development Services Division of the Community Development Agency (CDA) in the amount of $200. The former Development Services Division is now known as the Planning and Building Department.
Imprest cash funds are used by the Department to make change for customers paying for services in cash. Due to a substantial increase in customer volume, the current imprest cash account does not meet the Department’s needs. It has been determined that an increase of $300 for the imprest cash account is needed to establish a $500 change fund.
Resolution XXX-2019 increases the imprest cash account by $300, for a total amount of $500, and rescinds the portion of Resolution #075-2016 (Section B) that pertains to the Development Services Division of the CDA.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could determine to not increase the imprest cash fund, which could impact staff’s ability to provide effective customer service.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Sufficient funding is available in the Department’s Fiscal Year 2019-20 budget to cover the $300 increase. The $500 fund will not be depleted, as the imprest account is used solely for making change.
