Title
Vote on a request to approve the adoption of the FY 2019-2020 Budget Ordinance
Abstract
Action Requested: Vote on a request to approve the adoption of the FY 2019-2020 Budget Ordinance
Introduction & Background: At the May 23, 2019 budget work session, commissioners approved the FY 2019-2020 Recommended Budget with the following correction:
As of June 1, the Animal Services division of the Public Health Department was moved from the Health Department to the Sheriff’s Office. There is no budgetary impact.
An intergovernmental revenue in the Sheriff’s Office was overlooked in the recommended budget. An amendment to the FY 2019 budget provided 3 additional School Resource Officers (SROs) for the Sheriff’s Office to be paid for by Chatham County Schools. This adds $347,999 to intergovernmental revenue in the Sheriff’s Office budget.
The salary and benefits for one of the new positions in the Department of Social Services was incorrectly calculated. An additional $14,385 is expected in revenue, and an additional $923 in expense.
General liability insurance expense for FY 2020 was underestimated. $23,289 additional insurance expense is projected in the General Fund. An additional $8,515 is projected for the Solid Waste and Recycling Fund. An additional $4,447 is projected for the Utility Fund.
An additional $200,000 is added to contingency funds to restore contingency to FY 2019 funding.
