BACKGROUND
Background
Each year the adopted budget includes initial appropriations of estimated fund balance amounts from the prior fiscal year to support certain services during the new fiscal year. Most of these services are funded with grants or other resources that have restrictions on their uses. Once the county's Finance Department and staff from the associated departments complete their final review of operations, revised fund balance amounts are available, and the new fiscal year budget is adjusted to reflect actual resources available.
The adopted budget included an initial appropriation of $382,000 for the Adoption Incentive Program to permit operations while final available fund balance amounts were being calculated. The calculated fund balance that should be made available in FY 2019-20 is $203,456. A decrease in appropriation of the difference of $178,544 is needed to reconcile the budget estimate with actual available resources. This decrease will be accomplished by reducing Adoption Incentives by $68,406 and Public Assistance Mandates (Special Assistance to Adults) by $110,138.
