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 of budgeted funds from District Prosecutor to District Counsel for legal research; a transfer from District General to Clerk of the Boards for outside legal counsel for a Hearing Board case that was appealed before the Superior Court; a transfer from District General to Information Management for implementation of the FY 2005-06 Board-adopted Regulation III - Fees amendments; and a transfer from Engineering & Compliance to Information Management for enhancements to the automated permit processing programs. All expenditures relating to budget increases and/or transfers follow Board-established policy regarding purchasing and contracting.
