Title
Resolution authorizing emergency appropriations for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 in various funds for certain projects, items, and activities budgeted in the prior year and not completed.
Staff Summary
• Since all unused appropriations lapse at the end of each FY, it is necessary to “carry over” unspent budget authority from one FY to the next under certain conditions as defined in the County's Budget Policies.
• These carryover requests include contracts which were unable to be completed in FY 2020 and uncompleted or ongoing projects.
• These items must be authorized through what is termed an “emergency appropriation” in order to transfer the budget authority that was previously granted in FY 2020 to FY 2021.
