TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Kirk Haynes, Chief Probation Officer
SUBJECT: Budget Transfer for JJC Operational Costs
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and Authorize the Clerk of the Board to execute Budget Transfer No. 74 transferring FY 2022-23 appropriations from Probation Org 3440 ($1,470,000), from accounts 6100 (Regular Salaries) and 6400 (Retirement Contribution) to accounts: 7430 (Utilities) in the amount of $800,000, 7345 (Facility Operation & Maint) in the amount of $400,000, 7295 (Professional & Specialized Ser) in the amount of $219,000, and 7611 (Security Services) in the amount of $51,000, to fund unanticipated operating expenses at the Juvenile Justice Campus.
REPORT
There is no additional Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. Approval of the recommended action will approve budget transfer No. 74 to allow the transfer of salary savings in the amount of $1,470,000 to offset unanticipated operating expenses at the Juvenile Justice Campus (JJC). This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
There is no viable alternative action. If the recommended action is not approved, the department will not have sufficient appropriations to pay for all FY 2022-23 operating expenses at the JJC.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. Approval of the recommended action will allow the transfer of FY 2022-23 budgeted appropriations in the amount of $1,470,000 within Probation Org 3440 from accounts 6100 ($950,000) and 6400 ($520,000) to accounts 7430 ($800,000), 7345 ($400,000), 7295 ($219,000), and 7611 ($51,000) to transfer the necessary appropriations to fund unanticipated operating expenses at the JJC.
DISCUSSION:
Approval of the recommended action will allow the Probation department to transfer available appropriations from salary savings to fund unanticipated operating expenses at the JJC. Increases in natural gas prices, as well as increases in energy costs, have resulted in higher than anticipated utility costs at the JJC. Appropriations are also needed to fund unanticipated maintenance at the JJC related to the power switches and air conditioner controls. In addition, the contracted and security services are anticipated to exceed current appropriations. The recommended budget transfer will allow the department to fund these expenses with no increase to net county cost.
