Report Title: Fund Balance Appropriation for Media Equipment in CCTV
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE Appropriation Adjustment No. BDA-26-00613 authorizing the transfer of current year fund balance of $130,000 to the Office of Communications & Media/CCTV for the purchase of studio and media related equipment to support productions and cable television channel management operations.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Final County Budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26 includes “Obligated Fund Balances for FY 2025-26” showing that $2,822,622 has been obligated to CCTV/PEG (Public, Educational, Government Access Channels) in the General Fund. This recommended appropriation adjustment will further reduce the fund balance by $130,000 to provide for the purchase of critical equipment for the operations of CCTV.
BACKGROUND:
Fund Balance Available will be increased by $130,000 and capital appropriations will be increased in Org. 1225 (Office of Communications & Media/CCTV) to provide appropriations in FY 26-27 for the purchase of studio and media related equipment to support productions and cable television channel management operations.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Appropriations will not be properly allocated to provide for the purchase of this necessary equipment to operate the CCTV functions.
