PROPOSED TRANSFER OF FUNDS
Department: Justice Advisory Council
Request: Approve proposed transfer of funds
Reason: The JAC and Department of Budget and Management Services determined that the incorrect account was used during initial FY 2026 budgeting for a subset of capacity building funds.
From Account(s): Grant Disbursements - 11100.1205.33918.580170, $3,000,000.00
To Account(s): Professional Services - 11100.1205.33918.520830, $3,000,000.00
Total Amount of Transfer: $3,000,000.00
On what date did it become apparent that the receiving account would require an infusion of funds in order to meet current obligations? What was the balance in the account on that date, and what was the balance 30 days prior to that date?
January 5, 2026. The balance in the account at that date was $3,739,596 and 30 days prior to that date it was $3,739,596.
How was the account used for the source of transferred funds identified? List any other accounts that were also considered (but not used) as the source of the transferred funds.
The FY 2026 allocation for professional services was included in the direct grants disbursement account but should have been placed in the professional services account. No other funds were considered or implicated as a potential source of transferred funds.
Identify any projects, purchases, programs, contracts, or other obligations that will be deferred, delayed, or canceled as a result of the reduction in available spending authority that will result in the account that funds are transferred from.
None
If the answer to the above question is “none” then please explain why this account was originally budgeted in a manner that caused an unobligated surplus to develop at this point in the fiscal year.
This transfer is shifting costs to the correct account. The original budgeted amount was correctly budgeted.
