LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
REVIEWED BY: Thomas C. Foley
BACKGROUND:
Virginia Code § 15.2-2507 provides that any locality may amend its budget to adjust the aggregate amount to be appropriated during the fiscal year as shown in the currently adopted budget; provided, however, any such amendment which exceeds one percent of the total expenditures shown in the currently adopted budget must be accomplished by first publishing a notice of a meeting and holding a public hearing before amending the budget. The Code section applies to all County funds, i.e., General Fund, Capital Funds, E911, School Self-Sustaining, etc. The total increase to the FY 16 budget due to the appropriation itemized below is $655,387.70. A budget amendment public hearing is not required because the amount of the cumulative appropriations does not exceed one percent of the currently adopted budget.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Mission: To enhance the well-being and quality of life for all citizens through the provision of the highest level of public service consistent with the prudent use of public funds.
DISCUSSION:
This request involves the approval of seven (7) appropriations as follows:
• One (1) appropriation (#2016019) to appropriate $159,000.00 for the Route 29 Solutions Business Assistance Program. Note: $50,000.00 of this amount will not increase the County’s total budget;

• One (1) appropriation (#2016021) to appropriate $30,000.00 from the Grants Leveraging fund to the Information Technology Department. This will not increase the total County budget;

• One (1) appropriation (#2016023) to appropriate $295,860.00 for two CIP projects. Note: $79,720.00 of this amount will not increase the County’s total budget;
