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 $521,530.83. 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 seven (7) appropriations as follows:
∙ One (1) appropriation (#2016041) to appropriate $57,520.00 from the Reserve for Contingencies to JAUNT for a new Hollymead route. This appropriation will not increase the County Budget;
∙ One (1) appropriation (#2016042) to re-appropriate $43,408.87 in remaining FY15 grant funding to pay the University of Virginia for services it provided in FY15 that were related to the grant;
∙ One (1) appropriation (#2016044) to appropriate $10,000.00 in grant funds from the Virginia Department of Emergency Management and $10,000 from the Grants Leveraging Fund to Fire Rescue. The Grants Leveraging Fund portion of this appropriation will not increase the County budget;
∙ One (1) appropriation (#2016045) to appropriate $191,000.00 in grant funds from the National Fish and Wildlife Federation to the Water Resources fund;
∙ One (1) appropriation (#2016046) to appropriate $258,714.17 to the School Division;
∙ One (1) appropriation (#2016047) to appropriate $18,470.79 in grant funds from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality to the Department of General Services; and
∙ One (1) appropriation (#2016048) to appropriate $7,000.00 from the Reserve for Contingencies to the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court for furniture. This appropriation will not increase the County Budget.
