Title
Resolution authorizing emergency appropriations for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 in various funds for certain projects, items, and activities.
Staff Summary
• Since all unused appropriations lapse at the end of each fiscal year, it is necessary to “carry over” unspent budget authority from one fiscal year to the next under certain conditions as defined in the County's Budget Policies.
• Due to staffing changes and through the course of the annual audit, some necessary carryovers of the budget authority of unfinished FY 2021 projects were determined to be necessary in FY 2022.
• These items must be authorized through what is termed an “emergency appropriation” in order to appropriate the budget authority in the current fiscal year. The detailed accounts are included in the attachment.
