Request:
requesting approval by the Board of Commissioners to transfer funds totaling $90,000.00 from and to the accounts listed below.
Reason:
This transfer of funds, which represents less than one-tenth of one percent of our 2013 budget, should be sufficient to fulfill our obligations for the remainder of the fiscal year for three accounts with projected shortages. These accounts are: 225 Postage, where we have seen an increase in certified mailings; 388 Computer Supplies, mainly due to the high number of CD and DVD storage disks for video interrogations and the related discoveries, as well as the increasing cost of printer toner; and 444 Maintenance of Autos, where the expiration of warrantees on a large portion of our fleet has resulted in repair costs slightly higher than anticipated.
