Report Title: Approve Budget Amendment BDA-25-00075
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE Budget Amendment No. BDA-25-00075 authorizing the transfer of $103,035 in appropriations from the Department of Information Technology (0147) to Public Works, Facility Lifecycle Improvement (0085).
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action will increase appropriations by $103,035 in Facility Lifecycle Improvement (0085), Plant ACQ-Detention Facilities (4411), and decreases appropriations in Information Technology (0147), Administration (1050). The cost is budgeted in the Department’s IT Project Funding for FY 24/25, Project “Sheriff Network Infrastructure Upgrade (Marsh Creek Detention Facility).” 100% General Fund.
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Information Technology (DoIT), in collaboration with the Sheriff’s Office, is implementing an infrastructure project at the Marsh Creek Detention Facility to establish a 10G fiber backbone, improving network reliability and addressing current connectivity limitations. The project involves installing conduit and over-the-air (OTA) fiber pathways to interconnect all campus buildings, enabling the Sheriff’s Office Technical Services Department to deploy new network hardware. The transferred funds will support electrician costs managed by Public Works, as well as architectural costs associated with dispatching a survey crew to the site to create a topographic map.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the funds are not allocated to Public Works, the project may be delayed.
