PROPOSED TRANSFER OF FUNDS
Department: Cook County Sheriff's Office
Request: Fund Transfer
Reason: The Sheriff's Office needs funding in the Department of Corrections' Special or Coop Programs account to participate in the University of Chicago's Applied Data Fellowship Program. The Fellows will work on projects which aim to provide data translation and analysis support for the Sheriff's Office.
From Account(s): 11100.1239.18635.501010 (Salary and Wages)
To Account(s): 11100.1239.16875.521313 (Special or Coop Programs)
Total Amount of Transfer: $130,000.00
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?
It became apparent the Special or Coop Programs account would require additional funding in the middle of June. The balance in the middle of June was $61,600.55. The balance in the middle of May was $61.600.55.
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 Department of Corrections' salary account was identified using the surplus in our payroll salary projections. This the only account with enough appropriation to support a transfer of this amount.
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.
The Sheriff's Office will need to continue delaying hiring and closely monitor the overall budget spend.
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.
