SUBJECT: Budget Resolution for Coalinga Disposal Site Enterprise Fund
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Adopt Budget Resolution increasing FY 2017-18 appropriations for Coalinga Disposal Site Enterprise, Org 9028 in the amount of $25,000 using available fund balance and Risk Management Loss Recovery Program funds, to replace a gate and monitoring equipment (4/5 vote).
REPORT
Approval of the recommended action will increase FY 2017-18 appropriations for Coalinga Disposal Site (CDS) Enterprise, Org 9028 in the amount of $25,000 to replace monitoring equipment stolen from the CDS and a gate destroyed during the theft.
