REPORT
There is no Net County Cost associated with the recommended action, which will increase FY 2017-18 appropriations for expenditures in the Local Innovation Subaccount Org 3438. The recommended action to appropriate funds in Org 3438 is required in order to process payments to vendors out of this Org.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
There is no viable option. If your Board does not approve the recommended action the contracted vendors would not receive payment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. The recommended action will increase FY 2017-18 appropriations in the Local Innovation Subaccount Org 3438 in the amount of $154,244. This increase is to appropriate funds in this Org in order to pay vendors that receive funding from the Local Innovation Subaccount.
DISCUSSION:
The FY 2016-17 budget included revenue for Org 3438; however, funds were not appropriated for expenses because your Board had not approved the allocation of funds.
On June 6, 2017, your Board approved amendments to agreements with vendors to begin utilizing the Local Innovation subaccount funding. In order to pay vendors out of Org 3438, it is recommended your Board appropriate funding in Org 3438.
On June 20, 2017, your Board adopted a FY 2017-18 Recommended Budget based on FY 2016-17 adjusted appropriations and estimated revenues to allow staff to obtain better estimates for the upcoming fiscal year proposed final budget in September 2017. This moved the budget process from June to September, and the recommended action is necessary to appropriate funds in Org 3438 in order to pay the vendors that receive Local Innovation Subaccount funding beginning in FY 2017-18.
Government Code Section 30029.07 (b) provides for beginning in FY 2015-16, each county treasurer, city and county treasurer, or appropriate official shall transfer to the Local Innovation Subaccount ten percent of the monies received during a fiscal year from each of the following state Growth Special Accounts: 1) Trial Court Security, 2) The Community Corrections, 3) The District Attorney and Public Defender, and 4) The Juvenile Justice. Government Code Section 30025 (f)(15) states the monies in the Local Innovation Subaccount are to be used to fund local needs, and that your Board has the authority to spend the money deposited in this account as it would any funds in the above-mentioned accounts.
