OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT

The County Administrative Office has reviewed the recommendation. The Auditor-Controller will process the budget amendment if approved.

FINANCING

The proposed budget amendment increases appropriations $58,309, offset by a contribution from the County Fingerprint Automation Trust fund and establishes a new capital asset account. Sufficient appropriations exist in the Trust fund for this request. There is no additional General Fund impact with approval of this recommendation.
