Title
Resolution authorizing an emergency appropriation in the Recorder Automation Fund (Fund 260) to fund personnel expenses of the Fiscal Year 2025 budget in the amount of $16,500 from the Fund 260 fund balance.
Staff Summary
• The County Clerk’s Office has a shortfall in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 budget in its Recorder Automation Fund due to a combination of overtime and one-time pay for those employees who are at the top of their range.
• The current fund balance is estimated to be $1,945,688 at the end of FY 2025, so there are sufficient funds to cover this unbudgeted expense.
