PROPOSED TRANSFER OF FUNDS

 

Department:   Cook County Sheriff’s Office 

 

Request:   Fund Transfer

 

Reason:   The transfer is needed for the Police Department’s institutional supply account to purchase officer ballistic vests.

 

From Account(s):  11100.1231.13355.580033 (Reimbursement Designated Fund)

 

To Account(s):  11100.1231.13355.530188 (Institutional Supply Expense) 

 

Total Amount of Transfer:  $171,361.00

 

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?

 

We became aware of the need to infuse funds on June 11, 2025.   The balance on June 11, 2025, was $55,652.15.  The balance was $26,298.28 thirty days before. 

 

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 Police Department’s reimbursement designated fund account was the only account with available funding for the project.  This account was the only one considered for the transfer.  

 

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.

 

At the end of last year, the Police Department paid the maintenance cost for the computer aided dispatch system (CADS) using fiscal year 2024 funding.
