BODY
SUBJECT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST: Public Hearing on the Proposed FY 2019 Budget Amendment and the Resolution to approve Appropriations for local government and projects and programs
ITEM TYPE: Regular Action Item
STAFF CONTACT(S): Richardson, Walker, Kamptner, Bowman
PRESENTER (S): Andy Bowman
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
REVIEWED BY: Jeffrey B. Richardson
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 cumulative total of the FY 2019 appropriations itemized below is $(24,370,013.80). Because the cumulative amount of the appropriations exceeds one percent of the currently adopted budget, a budget amendment public hearing is required.
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: The proposed decrease of this FY 2019 Budget Amendment totals $24,370,013.80. The estimated expenses and revenues included in the proposed amendment are shown below:
The budget amendment is comprised of eleven (11) separate appropriations: #2019011, #2019012, #2019013, #2019014, #2019015, #2019016, #2019017, #2019018, #2019019, #2019020, and #2019021.
