Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: The Department of Transportation is decreasing appropriations in its equipment lease budget and increasing operating transfers out in the amount of $110,000; the remaining $32,500 is from fund balance in the Department of Transportation.
Background: On March 27, 2007 (item #32), the Board of Supervisors awarded a bid to several vendors for the purchase of new fleet vehicles which were approved for purchase by the Board on November 14, 2006 (item #40), and approved Budget Transfer 27171.
The staff report indicated that the amount of the budget transfer was $110,000, to cover the purchase of five additional vehicles for the Department of Transportation. The amount of the transfer was actually $142,500. This amount includes the five vehicles identified in the staff report as well as one new vehicle and two vehicle upgrades that had originally been budgeted but not purchased in FY 2005-06. The vehicle and upgrades were approved for purchase by the Board as part of the FY 2006-07 vehicle purchase plan on November 14.
Due to the discrepancy between the staff report and the budget transfer form, the Auditor-Controller has resommended that the Board re-authorize the transfer.
