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 Fiscal Year 2023 (FY 23) appropriations itemized below is $9,283,889. 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 community members through the provision of the highest level of public service consistent with the prudent use of public funds
DISCUSSION: The proposed increase of this FY 23 Budget Amendment totals $9,283,889. The estimated expenses and revenues included in the proposed amendment are shown below:
