Report Title: Reappropriate Fund Balance for Alliance to End Abuse Department 0586 from FY 23/24 to FY 24/25
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE Budget Amendment No. BDA-24-01062 authorizing the appropriation of the prior year FY 23/24 fund balance in the amount of $279,152 for the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) Contra Costa Alliance to End Abuse (CCAEA) for current year FY 24/25 as recommended by the Employment and Human Services Director.
FISCAL IMPACT:
EHSD Alliance to End Abuse (CCAEA) appropriations/budgets will be increased by $279,152. The appropriation of the fund balance from the prior year FY 23/24 to the current year FY 24/25 has no additional County general fund cost from budgeting this fund balance.
BACKGROUND:
CCAEA Org. # 0586 is supported by Special Fund SB425 from Certified Copies of marriage, birth/death certificates. These fees support CCAEA staffing and operations, departmental expenses and contracts. At the end of FY 23/24 there was a surplus in this special fund. The surplus was not rolled over into FY 24/25, which is the reason for EHSD to request this fund balance be added to the FY 24/25 budget to cover current year CCAEA costs.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Budgets will not be properly allocated to cover costs associated with the Contra Costa Alliance to End Abuse (CCAEA) Org. # 0586.
