$ 215,000
      
Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost:  This budget transfer will result in an increase in net county cost of  $215,000  in the Court Maintenance of Effort budget (Department 20).
 
Reason for Recommendation:  The FY 2007-08 budget did not include an appropriation of $203,000 to return revenue to the State in excess of the Court MOE requirement.  Based on the current Court MOE, the County must split excess revenue 50/50 with the State.  Part of the revenue comes into Department 20 and the remainder is received into Department 15 as recording fees.
 
The budget transfer also includes $12,000 to cover invoices received in FY 2007-08 related to ongoing murder trials.  
 
Action to be taken following Board approval:  Chair to sign budget transfer.
