Authorize and direct the Auditor-Controller to amend the FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget by increasing appropriations by $20,000 in the Department of Social Services-Community Programs Unit 001-5010-SOC004-8258, financed by a decrease in appropriations in the Department of Social Services-General Assistance Unit 001-5010-SOC002-8253 (4/5ths vote required).
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Department had to act on several priority maintenance issues for both the Warming Shelter and the Women’s Domestic Shelter related to mold, safety, sanitation, and plumbing issues which is higher than was anticipated for this budget year.
The Department is recommending a transfer of appropriations from the General Assistance Budget Unit to the Community Programs Budget Unit so that costs will remain within the appropriation level for the current FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The County Administrator’s Office - Budget Office has reviewed this request.
FINANCING:
The Department’s recommendation is to increase appropriations by $20,000 for the Community Programs Budget Unit 001-5010-SOC004-8258 and to decrease appropriations in the General Assistance Budget Unit 001-5010-SOC002-8253 by $20,000 in the FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget. The increase in appropriations is to fund the maintenance on both shelters (Warming and Domestic Violence) shelter. This action transfers County General Fund dollars between the two budget units and there is no additional impact to the Department’s total General Fund Contribution.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES:
This proposed action correlates to the Administration Strategic Initiative adopted by the Board of Supervisors by allowing the Department to provide maintenance to both the Warming Shelter and the Women’s Domestic Violence Shelter that provides a safe environment to individuals and families.
