Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost
This Budget Transfer does not result in a change to Net County Cost.
Reason for Recommendation
2011 Realignment revenues are higher than expected due to changes enacted in June 2012 by the State which resulted in uncertain impacts to the County for FY 2012/13. The Budget Transfer incorporates an additional $1,544,023 in 2011 Realignment funding into the SSA-Protective Services Sub Account and increases revenue and appropriations for Foster Care Assistance by $1,544,023. It is necessary to increase Foster Care Assistance revenue and appropriations due to increased program costs primarily resulting from a Foster Family Home COLA, the rising level of care placement costs and case count growth.
Action(s) to be taken following Board approval
1. Chair to sign the Budget Transfer Request.
2. Board Clerk's Office to forward signed Budget Transfer to Auditor-Controller's Office for processing.
