Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost:  The attached budget transfer will increase appropriations in the FY 2011-12 Civil Grand Jury budget by $41,938.  This will result in an increase in Net County Cost and decrease General Fund contingency.
 
Background: On November 15, 2010, the Board voted to reduce the FY 2011-12 Grand Jury budget by $44,000 resulting in an approved FY 2011-12 budget of $40,422.  The Grand Jury has exceeded this budget and on January 24, 2012, the Board approved a budget transfer increasing the FY 2011-12 Grand Jury budget by $12,000.  This budget transfer was intended to cover expenses through February, 2012.  
 
Reason for Recommendation:  On January 31, 2012, the Civil Grand Jury requested an increase to their FY 2011-12 budget of $41,938.  This will increase the total budget to $94,360 for FY 2011-12.  A copy of the Grand Jury request is attached (Attachment 2A).  This request should cover all anticipated expenses for the remainder of FY 2011-12.
 
Action to be taken following Board approval:  Board clerk will forward approved budget transfer to the Auditor-Controller's office for processing.
