ITEM TYPE: Consent Action Item

PRESENTER (S): N/A
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 $(709,288.86). 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 ten (10) appropriations as follows:
• One (1) appropriation (#2016009) to re-appropriate $11,315.00 for intern wages in the Office of Management and Budget and the County Executive’s Office;
• One (1) appropriation (#2016010) to appropriate $(1,342,325.00) pursuant to the Board’s action related to the approval of the FY16-20 Capital Improvement Program on July 1, 2015;
• One (1) appropriation (#2016011) to appropriate $61,261.17 in proffer revenue for the Crozet Avenue North and South Pantops Drive/State Farm Boulevard Sidewalk project;
• One (1) appropriation (#2016012) to appropriate $125,910.00 for a Department of Criminal Justice Services grant awarded to the Albemarle County Police Department;
• One (1) appropriation (#2016013) to appropriate $300,000.00 for a Department of Criminal Justice Services grant awarded to Offender Aid and Restoration with the County acting as fiscal agent;
• One (1) appropriation (#2016014) to re-appropriate $38,164.00 in grants to the Police Department;
• One (1) appropriation (#2016015) to re-appropriate $43,000.00 from Emergency Communication Center (ECC) fund balance to the ECC;
• One (1) appropriation (#2016016) to appropriate local revenue recovered from project partners for three ECC projects from the County’s General Government CIP fund to the ECC capital project fund. This will not increase the total County budget;
• One (1) appropriation (#2016017) to re-appropriate $13,385.97 in grants in the Sheriff’s Office; and
• One (1) appropriation (#2016018) to appropriate $80,000.00 to the Economic Development Authority for disbursing funding to 20 Paces and Kelly Turkeys pursuant to the Board’s authorization on June 3, 2015 to match the $40,000 grant from the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Agriculture and Forestry Industries Development Fund. The $40,000.00 County match will be provided from the Economic Opportunity Fund and will not increase the total appropriated County budget.
