RECOMMENDATION

Approve a budget amendment increasing appropriations by $180,000 and increasing revenue by $200,000 in the Air Quality Management District budget for the purpose of recognizing increased funding received for the Woodstove Replacement Program.

SUMMARY

N/A


DISCUSSION

On May 23, 2018 the Shasta County Air Quality Management District entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with CAPCOA to replace uncertified and inefficient woodstoves with cleaner burning devices and was allocated $125,000 to implement the Program through June 2020. Due to the early success of the program, the District has issued enough woodstove replacement vouchers to exhaust the initial allocation of $125,000, and on June 26, 2018 the Shasta County Air Quality Management District adopted a resolution to accept additional funds, in the amount of $75,000, by amendment to the MOU.  Total funding of $200,000.

 

Of the $200,000 Revenue; $20,000 is for the District oversight and administration of the program and $180,000 is for the payment for woodstove replacements.  Due to the timing of when these funds were made available to the District, they were not included in the FY 2018/19 budget process.


ALTERNATIVES

The Board may choose not to approve this budget amendment, but that is not recommended because the Districts’ budget will be over-budget in the affected object code and the woodstove replacement program would stop.

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT

This recommendation has been reviewed by the County Auditors’ Office and the County Administrative Office


FINANCING

This budget amendment will not have a negative impact on the budget.  Partial funds ($112,500) for this program have already been received and are held in the Air District Unearned Account.
