Barry R. Wallerstein, D.Env.
Executive Officer


Background

After the close of each fiscal year staff has prepared and presented to the Board a report on midyear revisions to the budget. 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 Outlays/Fixed Assets.) In addition there were organizational unit-requested budget changes that did not increase the budget but reallocated already-budgeted funds within a Major Object to meet operational needs. Organizational unit-requested budget changes included such things as transfers of additional CARB subvention funds from Engineering & Compliance, District Prosecutor, and Planning, Rules & Area Sources to Information Management for compliance-related computer systems development or enhancement; and from Engineering & Compliance to Information Management for enhancement of the Quarterly Certified Emissions Report (QCER) portion of the RECLAIM Trading Credit (RTC) system. All expenditures relating to budget increases and/or transfers follow Board-established policy regarding purchasing and contracting.
