PROPOSED TRANSFER OF FUNDS
Department: Office of the State's Attorney
Request: requesting approval by the Board of Commissioners to transfer $215,000.00 from and to the accounts listed below.
Reason: This transfer of funds, which represents less than one-quarter of one percent of our 2015 budget, should be sufficient to fulfill our obligations for the remainder of the fiscal year for three accounts with projected shortages.
