PROPOSED TRANSFER OF FUNDS
Department: Cook County’s State’s Attorney’s Office
Request: Transfer of Funds
Reason: Incurred and forecasted expenditures that exceed FY25 budgeted dollars within the Overtime account.
From Account(s): 11100.1250.11660.521054-Legal Services ($500,000.00)
To Account(s): 11100.1250.14245.501211- Overtime $500,000.00
Total Amount of Transfer: $500,000.00
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?
On 9/25/2025 we identified surplus funds that can be used to address unanticipated FY25 expenditures in the Overtime account. The balance in the Overtime account was ($463,054.00) and 30 days prior it was ($321,218.00).
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 Legal Services account has funds budgeted for outside legal counsel in preparation for potential new labor negotiation matters that did not occur in FY25. As a result, surplus funds have been identified.
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.
The expected new labor negotiation matters did not take place as anticipated in the FY25 budgeting process.
