Clerk of the Board recommending the Board approve and authorize the Chair to sign a Budget Transfer increasing appropriations by $37,000 within the Board of Supervisor’s Department.
FUNDING: General Fund Contingency.
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Since the preparation of the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 budget, there have been salary increases to all employee classifications within the Board of Supervisor’s Department. After accounting for salary savings due to vacancies, paying off the leave balances for an outgoing Supervisor's Assistant, and anticipated department staffing, the department projects a need for additional General Fund appropriations for the Board of Supervisor’s salaries and benefits budget in the amount of $5,000.
The Board of Supervisor’s Department anticipates needing an additional $32,000 within services and supplies due to record’s management activities, including document shredding, and office expense costs associated with the new supervisor and supervisor’s assistant.
The recommended budget transfer would increase appropriations within the Board of Supervisor’s Department by $37,000 by a transfer from General Funds contingency.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could direct the Clerk to identify potential savings, potentially reducing the need for General Fund contingency.
