Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt a resolution directing the Auditor-Controller to amend the FY 2020-21 Adopted Budget for the County Administrative Office (CAO), Fund 001, Appropriation Unit CAO005, Unit 8056, to increase appropriations by $841,434, where the funding source is a release of Cannabis Assignment (BSA- 001-3132) funds or other source approved by the Board (4/5ths vote).
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Emergency Operation Center (EOC) has been responding to the COVID-19 pandemic since its inception in March 2020. Funding support for the current Fiscal Year (FY 2020-21) has been provided from several sources, with pending reimbursement from FEMA for many elements of our crisis response. As the reimbursement takes some time to be recovered from FEMA and the percentage of reimbursement is usually around 75%, funding is required to support these activities, which are directly related to the pandemic (see Attachment A).
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The County Administrative Office and Budget Office supports this action.
FINANCING:
If approved, these funds will facilitate and support the COVID activities noted above. Funding is eligible for reimbursement from FEMA as part of the COVID-19 pandemic, and when received, will be applied towards reimbursement of funds provided for these activities. Receipt of these funds may be during the current fiscal year, or next fiscal year, actual date is uncertain. Funding for this request is available in both Cannabis Assignment and Contingency funding sources; it is recommended that Cannabis Assignment Funds be utilized
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES:
Approval of this request will increase health and human service throughout the county by the increased capabilities to support those in community with COVID-19.
