PROPOSED TRANSFER OF FUNDS
Department: Cook County Medical Examiner
Request: To allow for a transfer of funds within our operating budget.
Reason: Costs to the current contract for rental/laundering our scrubs increased significantly due to increased staff.
From Account(s): 259-237, $25,000.00
To Account(s): 259-222, $25,000.00
Total Amount of Transfer: $25,000.00
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 6/23/2014 it became apparent that account 259-222 would need additional funds to complete the rest of FY14. The balance in the account on 6/23/2014 was $6,032.00, and the balance was the same 30 days prior.
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 account used for the source of funds is the Services for Minors or Indigents account. Due to the severe winter weather these past months, burials were canceled due to the frozen ground, which led to excess money that was not used.
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 account was originally budgeted for two burials per month for 30 bodies per burial @ $474 per body for 10 months. Due to the severe winter weather which no one can predict, the cemetery canceled burials for several months.
