Background

After the close of each fiscal year, staff has prepared and presented to the Board a report of 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 a transfer from Engineering & Compliance to Information Management to implement NSR Rule changes, enhance PAATS to support PPS and NSR modifications, enhance the Permit Processing/Client Server System, and enhance the Manual Reporting System to allow on-demand printing of audit forms by inspectors; and a transfer from Planning, Rule Development & Area Sources to Information Management to modify the automated portion of the Rule 2202 filing program to support amendments to that Rule. All expenditures relating to budget increases and/or transfers follow Board-established policy regarding purchasing and contracting.
