Report Title: Approve Budget Amendments No. BDA-26-01060 and BDA-20-01450
Recommendation: Recommendation of the County Administrator
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE Budget Amendment No. BDA-26-01060 authorizing the transfer of $13,712,157 in revenue and expenditure appropriations from the Health, Housing, and Homeless Services Division (0463), and Budget Amendment No. BDA-26-01450 authorizing the transfer of $19,050,000 in revenue and expenditure appropriations from the Behavioral Health Division (0467) to the newly established Community Response Division (0464).
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of these revenue and expenditure appropriations of $13,712,157 from the Health, Housing, and Homeless Services Division (0463), and $19,050,000 from the Behavioral Health Division (0467) to the newly established Community Response Division (0464) represent a realignment of existing appropriations and will have no impact on the FY 2026/27 Net County Cost.
BACKGROUND:
This amendment establishes the Community Response Division (0464) by transferring existing appropriations from the Health, Housing, Homeless Division (0463) and Behavioral Health Division (0467) for FY 2026/27. No new revenue or expenditure authority is included.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Appropriations and revenues will not be properly aligned for FY 2026/27, preventing accurate tracking and management of the new Community Response Division (0464).
