PRESENTER (S): N/A
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
REVIEWED BY: Douglas C. Walker
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 17 budget due to the appropriations itemized below is $2,420,209.83. 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 (#2017099) to appropriate $2,033,897.00 in State revenue for sidewalk projects;
• One (1) Appropriation (#2017100) to appropriate $1,047.22 in State revenue to the Charlottesville Albemarle Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals;
