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 $197,353.80. 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 six (6) appropriations as follows:
• One (1) appropriation (#2016035) to appropriate $7,475.00 in insurance recoveries for a vehicle replacement;
• One (1) appropriation (#2016036) to appropriate $5,640.00 from the Bright Stars Fund to the Department of Social Services to centralize training costs. This appropriation will not increase the County Budget;
• One (1) appropriation (#2016037) to appropriate $64,493.00 in federal grant revenue and local match from the Grants Leveraging Fund to the Police department. The $2,608.00 local match portion of this appropriation will not increase the County Budget;
• One (1) appropriation (#2016038) to appropriate $7,993.80 of hazardous materials (Hazmat) cost recovery revenue to the Department of Fire Rescue;
• One (1) appropriation (#2016039) to appropriate $2,972.00 to the Charlottesville Albemarle Health Department from the Reserve for Contingencies for salary adjustment. This appropriation will not increase the County Budget; and
