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 $555,122.57. 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 (#2017066) to appropriate $19,541.00 in Federal revenue to the Albemarle Charlottesville Regional Jail.
• One (1) Appropriation (#2017067) to appropriate $2,031.64 in local donations to the General Fund’s Reserve for Contingencies.
• One (1) Appropriation (#2017068) to appropriate $260,078.00 in State revenue for a grant from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality to the Environmental Services Division and $271,148.00 from the Water Resources TMDL capital project to support the Chapel Hill Stream Restoration capital project. $271,148.00 of this request will not increase the total County budget, resulting in a new increase to the budget of $260,078.00.
• One (1) Appropriation (#2017069) to re-appropriate $10,658.24 in grant revenue from the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (VHCD) to the Information Technology Department for the FY17 close out of the Virginia Telecommunication Planning Initiative project.
• One (1) Appropriation (#2017070) to appropriate $29,017.69 in funding received from the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission and Economic Development Authority to support the County’s share of the Route 29/Hydraulic Road small area plan.

• One (1) Appropriation (#2017073) to appropriate $71,441.00 for the School Division’s share of a project to digitize employee records and $30,000.00 for the General Government’s share of the project. $30,000.00 of this request will not increase the total County budget, resulting in a net increase to the budget of $71,441.00.
• One (1) Appropriation (#2017074) to appropriate $50,000.00 from the Efficiency Study/Implementation Reserve to the Information Technology Department. This appropriation will not increase the total County budget.
