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 2020 appropriations itemized below is $5,931,391.74. Because the cumulative amount of the appropriations exceeds one percent of the currently adopted budget, a budget amendment public hearing is required.

DISCUSSION: The proposed increase of this FY 2020 Budget Amendment totals $5,931,391.74. The estimated expenses and revenues included in the proposed amendment are shown below:
