Summary:
Summary
This resolution recognizes unanticipated fund balance in various funds and adjusts appropriation in FY20 for the Judiciary budget, the Sheriff’s budget, the Safety and Emergency Services Department budget, and the Largo Unincorporated Fire District budget. The unanticipated fund balances were due to FY19 actual expenditures being less than estimated during development of the FY20 budget.
Body
Background Information:
The FY20 actual beginning fund balances have exceeded the budget in the General Fund, Emergency Medical Services Fund, and Fire Districts Fund due to capital equipment and vehicles not being received by the end of the prior fiscal year. The delays were not anticipated during budget development. This resolution adjusts appropriation in the FY20 Budget as follows: General Fund - $506,160.00 for computers and supplies (Judiciary $19,940.00), the Electronic Medication Administration Record system (Sheriff’s Office $404,220.00), and Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (Fire Regional Services $82,000.00); Emergency Medical Services Fund - $400,000.00 for two emergency response vehicles; and Fire Districts Fund - $11,000.00 for the County’s share of costs for fire vehicles purchased to serve the Largo unincorporated area.
In accordance with Section 129.06(2)(f), Florida Statutes, if the source of unanticipated receipts is not specifically associated with a particular purpose such as grants, donations or reimbursements, this budgetary action requires a public hearing. The public hearing was advertised in advance of the March 10, 2020 meeting. The attached resolution recognizes FY20 unanticipated beginning fund balance within the various funds identified and increases total appropriation within each fund accordingly.
Fiscal Impact:
Approval of this resolution recognizes unanticipated beginning fund balance in various funds and increases FY20 budget appropriation accordingly in each fund: $506,160.00 in the General Fund, $400,000.00 in the Emergency Medical Services Fund, and $11,000.00 in the Fire Districts Fund.
