Approve Fiscal Year 2015 (FY15) Board Budget Amendment 15-11 for the Supervisor of Elections to realign appropriation from the General Government cost center to the Supervisor of Elections cost center within the General Fund.
Appropriation is needed to capture expenses in FY15 for electronic poll books and municipal goods that were received prior to the end of the fiscal year. Since these funds were expended in FY15 instead of FY16, the transfers to the Supervisor of Elections will be reduced by $241,030.00 in FY16.

Summary:
As per the request from the Supervisor of Elections, this amendment realigns appropriation from the General Government cost center to the Supervisor of Elections cost center within the General Fund. Appropriation is needed to capture expenses in FY15 for electronic poll books and municipal goods that were received prior to the end of the fiscal year.
Background Information:
Municipal goods in the amount of $21,522.49 were received September 22, 2015 and electronic poll books, totaling $219,500.00, were received two days prior to the promissory delivery date of October 1, 2015. These items were included in the FY16 adopted budget but are required to be recorded in FY15 due to being received prior to year-end.
Fiscal Impact:
This amendment realigns $241,030.00 from General Government - Reserve for Contingencies to the Supervisor of Elections for purchases that were received in FY15 but budgeted in FY16. Since these funds will be expended in FY15 instead of FY16, the transfers to the Supervisor of Elections will be reduced by $241,030.00 in FY16. This yields no net impact to the General Fund.
