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. In addition there were organizational unit-requested budget changes that did not increase the budget, but did reallocate already-budgeted funds within a Major Object to meet operational needs. Organizational unit-requested budget changes included such things as transfers from Engineering & Compliance to Information Management for development of Permit Processing System (PPS) software; Central Station, compliance systems, and New Source Review (NSR) enhancements; and RECLAIM Trading Credit (RTC) software upgrade; transfer from Clerk of the Board to Information Management for development of a variance tracking system; and transfer from Planning, Rule Development & Area Sources to Science & Technology Advancement for Proposed Rule 1133 greenwaste testing.
