☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE Budget Amendment No. BDA-26-01054 authorizing adjustments to the Probation Department’s Probation Programs (0308), Probation Facilities (0309), and Probation Care of Court Wards (0310) expenditure budgets to account for actual expenditures as part of the Department’s FY 2025-26 year-end balancing.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action will reallocate $800,000 in existing appropriations within the Department’s FY 2025-26 budget to align budgeted amounts with actual expenditures. There is no additional net County cost.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the fiscal year-end closing process, the Probation Department must ensure that no department high level expenditure line has a negative balance. This budget adjustment reallocates existing appropriations to align funding with actual expenditures and accurately reflect the Department's budgetary needs for Probation Programs (0308), Probation Facilities (0309), and Probation Care of Court Wards (0310).
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If unapproved, appropriations will not be properly reflected in the FY 2025-26 budget.
