Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The Board conducted the Budget Hearing on the recommended Fiscal Year (FY) 2020-21 Budget on September 18, 2020. Exhibit 1 is the recommend Adopted Budget documents that were posted to https://www.edcgov.us/Government/CAO/Pages/Fiscal-Year-2020-2021-Recommended-Budget.aspx on September 3, 2020 for review before the September 18, 2020 Budget hearing. In addition to the documents included in Exhibit 1, the budget webpage includes the Adopted Detail Budget Schedule by Department to provide budget information organized by department and fund.
During the Budget Hearing, the Board directed the Chief Administrative Office to return to the Board on September 29, 2020 with a budget resolution to adopt the budget as recommended with a personnel amendment, updated fixed asset list, and fund balance adjustments.
The Board directed further revisions to the Recommended Budget as detailed in Exhibit 2 to adjust fund balance amounts to actuals to reflect the year-end financial records that were closed on September 11, 2020. The recommended revisions are outlined in Exhibit 2 for Board review and approval for inclusion in the FY 2020-21 Adopted Budget. These adjustments require a 4/5 vote because the information was not available for written submittal to the Board prior to the close of the budget hearing on September 18, 2020.
The recommended Adopted Budget included additions and revisions to Fixed Assets, and per Board Budget Policy B-16, Exhibit 3 is a list of Fixed Assets for Fiscal Year 2020-21 that were either included in the Recommended Budget, approved by the Board prior to the Budget Hearing, or included in the recommended Adopted Budget presented to the Board at the Budget Hearing.
A resolution to amend the adopted Personnel Allocation Resolution is attached reflecting staffing changes outlined in the recommended Adopted Budget narratives for the Assessor’s Office, Chief Administrative Office Parks Division, Human Resources, and the Health and Human Services Agency.
