ITEM TYPE: Consent Action Item
STAFF CONTACT(S): Foley, Letteri, Walker, Davis, and Allshouse, L
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 $7,082.61. 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 two (2) appropriations as follows:
•One (1) Appropriation (#2016078) to appropriate $7,082.61 in recovered costs and donations to the Fire Rescue Department; and
•One (1) Appropriation (#2016079) to appropriate $28,245.66 to purchase mobile data computers for volunteer stations. This appropriation will not increase the total County budget.
