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 reallocated already-budgeted funds within a Major Object to meet operational needs. Organizational unit-requested budget changes included such things as a transfer from District General to Information Management to implement optional expedited permit processing [Rule 301(y)]; transfers from Engineering & Compliance to Information Management for a RECLAIM RTC QCER Settlement Report, PPS maintenance and enhancements, Title V tracking software maintenance, and NSR and facility permit maintenance and enhancements; and a transfer from Science & Technology Advancement to Information Management to develop on-line registration software for the 2005 Lawn Mower Exchange Program. All expenditures relating to budget increases and/or transfers follow Board-established policy regarding purchasing and contracting.
