SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
This transaction is the result of an approved WRA BOS Resolution, WRAG 17-240, approved in November of 2017. This transaction finalizes the transfer of fund balances in the above funds that are closing or merging because of the Water Resources Agency’s Fund Restructure that provides more transparency and simplicity in how revenues and expenditures are reported in the Agency’s Budget. In addition, it fully utilizes the Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) Advantage System within the County of Monterey, a change which was recommended by Rodney Craig Goodman Jr., CPA and the County Auditor-Controller Office.
