RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Budget Committee:
Receive and accept a report from the Office of the District Attorney on their financial estimates for their End-of-Year (EOY) fiscal status, for FY 2022-23.
SUMMARY:
The Office of the District Attorney (DA) continues to monitor and evaluate the status of their approved budget for FY 2022-23. After the financial estimates prepared in early January, which were utilized in the preparation of the End-of-Year (EOY) budget status report, the DA has deferred several expenditures into the future to reduce and eliminate the projected deficit.
DISCUSSION:
The Budget Office requested this report be prepared, to summarize the financial situation for the DA and what actions might be needed to complete the fiscal year with a positive financial balance. EOY estimates prepared in early January, for the EOY status report prepared for the Budget Office, had estimated a financial shortfall of approximately $117,433. The DA strongly desires to scan and eliminate old files currently held in storage and was working to obtain funding to continue those efforts. When additional funding was not available, these efforts have been deferred into next year. and has eliminated the projected deficit, creating an estimated EOY excess of $114,764.
The DA anticipates preparing a budget augmentation request for FY 2023-24 to request funding to scan and destroy these old files, which cost over $100,000 per year to store.
