SUBJECT: District Attorney Budget Resolutions for Rowell Building Tenant Improvements
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
1. Adopt Budget Resolution increasing FY 2019-20 appropriations for the District Attorney Fund 0060, SubClass 17211, Federal Asset Forfeiture Fund Org 1111 in the amount of $325,000 (4/5 vote); and
2. Adopt Budget Resolution Increasing FY 2019-20 appropriations and estimated revenues for the District Attorney Building Org 8854 in the amount of $325,000 (4/5 vote).
REPORT
Approval of the recommended actions will increase appropriations and estimated revenues in Capital Projects Fund 0400 that includes $5,455,540 in the District Attorney (DA) Building Org 8854 for Rowell Building improvements that are the responsibility of the County. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
If this action is not approved, some of the tenant improvements will not be completed to meet the needs of the District Attorney.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended actions. Approval of the first recommended action will increase the FY 2019-20 appropriations in the District Attorney Special Revenue Fund, Federal Asset Forfeiture Org 1111 to process an Operating Transfer Out. Approval of the second recommended action will increase FY 2019-20 appropriations and estimated revenues for the District Attorney Building Org 8854, Fund 0400, and Subclass 10054 to process an Operating Transfer in. Approval of the recommended actions will provide sufficient appropriations and estimated revenues in the amount of $325,000 in the DA Org 8854 to allow for completion of building improvements.
DISCUSSION:
The District Attorney has searched for a facility since 2013 that would allow for consolidation of staff and operations that are currently at three different locations: 929 L Street, 1260 M Street, and the Fresno County Plaza Building. Consolidation of staff and operations will enhance departmental operational efficiencies. The balance of the District Attorney staff currently housed at the Juvenile Justice Center and MAGEC will continue to remain in those facilities.
Capital Projects Fund 0400 includes previously Board approved appropriations and estimated revenues in the amount of $5,455,540 for the District Attorney Building Org 8854. Approval of the recommended actions will allow for the completion of the Rowell Building for occupancy. These additional funds are required to complete the installation of security measures and ballistic protection.
