SUMMARY

N/A

DISCUSSION

The McArthur Farm Advisor's office closed effective June 30, 2017; however, residual payroll, communications, and payroll related insurance charges have occurred in FY 17-18. Approving the budget amendment will bring the budget into alignment with the actuals as a Mid-Year cleanup.

ALTERNATIVES

The Board could choose to modify the budget amendment request.

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT

The County Administrative Office reviewed the recommendation. The Farm Advisor worked with the County Chief Financial Officer to prepare the recommendation.

FINANCING

This cost center is part of the General Fund, so General Fund contingency will offset the increase in appropriations.
