Report Title: Mid-Year Appropriation - FY 23/24 & Measure X Budget Rollover
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE Budget Amendment No. BDA-24-00216 authorizing an adjustment to Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD), Children and Family Services Bureau (0502) and Workforce Services Bureau (0504) expenditure and revenue budgets as part of the EHSD’s FY 2023/24 Budget Rebalance (Mid-Year Adjustment) of $20,846,859, and to appropriate rollover funds from FY 22/23 for Measure X of $139,501.00, with no additional net county cost.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action is to adjust the expenditure and revenue budgets to more accurately reflect budgetary requirements for the Children and Family Services Bureau (0502), and Workforce Services Bureau (0504) for FY 2023/24. The increases are due to increased caseload and higher cost per case than previously budgeted. There is an increase in both the expenditure and revenue budgets of $20,846,859. Approval of this action will also appropriate rollover budgeted Measure X funds from FY 22/23 in the amount of $139,501. There is no additional net county cost.
BACKGROUND:
The Employment and Human Services Department, as part of the FY 2023/24 budget rebalancing, has identified the need for corrections to the FY 2023/24 budget to better align the expenditure and revenue expectations for FY 2023/24. The Department has also identified the need to rollover budgeted Measure X funds from FY 22/23 that were not included in the initial Measure X rollover for FY 23/24.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Appropriations, rollovers and estimated revenues will not be properly reflected in the FY 23/24 budget.
