Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The Chief Administrative Office is presenting the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-22 Recommended Budget for consideration and approval. The FY 2021-22 Recommended Budget was made available to the Board of Supervisors and the public on May 28, 2021. The Recommended Budget is attached to this Legistar item as a link, and can be found online at https://www.edcgov.us/Government/CAO/Pages/Fiscal-Year-2021-2022-Recommended-Budget.aspx. In accordance with Government Code requirements, notice of the Hearing was provided 10 days prior to this meeting.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 29064, "On or before June 30 of each year the board, by formal action, shall approve the recommended budget, including the revisions it deems necessary for the purpose of having authority to spend until the budget is adopted." The Chief Administrative Office therefore requests that the Board consider and approve the attached FY 2021-22 Recommended Budget, including any revisions deemed necessary, as well as authorize the Capital Projects and Road work plans, approve the fixed asset listing, and direct staff to return to the Board with a resolution to adopt the FY 2021-22 Authorized Personnel Allocation.
In addition, it is recommended that the Board approve the attached listing of permanent assignment and overnight retention of County-owned vehicles. Board Policy D-4, Vehicle Use, Standards, Procurement and Disposal, Section B.2, titled "Permanent Assignment and Overnight Retention (Take Home-Vehicles)" requires that the "initial and continued permanent assignment and overnight retention of County-owned vehicles" be approved by the Board of Supervisors annually during the budget process. The Chief Administrative Officer requires each department requesting authorization of vehicles for permanent assignment and overnight retention to submit detailed justification for the request. A summary of the current assignments are attached.
The Chief Administrative Office will return to the Board in September, after the financial records have closed for FY 2020-21, with recommended revisions reflecting actual fund balances and state and federal funding impacts.
ALTERNATIVES
If a majority vote cannot be reached by June 30, 2021, per Government Code Section 29124, the Auditor shall approve payments “based on the final budget of the preceding year, excluding assets and transfers-out unless specifically approved by the board.”
