PROPOSED TRANSFER OF FUNDS
Department:
Office of the State's Attorney
Request:
requesting approval by the Board of Commissioners to transfer funds totaling $50,000.00 from and to the accounts listed below.
Reason:
Account 246 is used to pay for subpoenaed documents required for trial, primarily medical and bank records. We have recently experienced a significant increase in bills for hospital records of the victims in criminal cases, particularly in our Juvenile Justice Bureau, where every case of alleged abuse or neglect of a minor requires the acquisition of full medical records, often including xrays.
From Account(s):
562-186, $20,000.00; 562-190, $10,000.00; 562-264, $20,000.00
To Account(s):
562-246, $50,000.00
Total Amount of Transfer:
$50,000.00
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?
This account was not originally funded.
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.
These were the accounts, based on current year to date spending and known obligations, which were projected as most likely to have remaining balances at year end.
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.
Although spending fluctuates from year to year in many accounts, our original budget requests were based on our best estimates at the time.
