Background

Following CARB’s March 1995 review of the AQMD’s Three-Year Budget Forecast, recommendations were made by the state regarding AQMD programs. In the budget area, CARB recommended that staff report on midyear revisions to the budget approved by the Board. After the close of each fiscal year staff has prepared and presented to the Board a report on midyear revisions to the budget. This year staff has streamlined the report.

The attached Board-approved budget changes reflect actions taken by the Board to increase the budget or transfer budget moneys between Major Objects (Salaries; Services and Supplies; Capital Equipment). In addition there were division-requested budget changes that did not increase the budget but reallocated already-budgeted funds within a Major Object to meet operational needs. Division-requested budget changes included such things as transfers of funds from various divisions to Information Management to develop automated program functionality or to enhance existing computer systems and funds to Public Affairs to help fund education and outreach efforts. All expenditures relating to budget increases and/or transfers follow Board-established policy regarding purchasing and contracting.
