STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Recommendation

Adopt Resolution #2023-150 amending the Fiscal Year 2023 Budget (Resolution #2022-165 and #2022-166, adopted September 20, 2022) to allocate funds needed to cover Appointed Staff salary increases and annual leave payouts not considered in the FY23 Budget. 

End

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

 

Background:  Commission approved salary increases for the Appointed Staff during the May 2, 2023 Regular meeting. During the 06/20/23 meeting, Commission approved the creation of a new Assistant County Engineer position. Also, upon retirement, both the County Engineer and Budget Director / Interim County Administrator received payouts for their unused annual leave.

 

As the salary increases, new position, and annual leave payouts were not budgeted, Budget Director requests that Interest Income funds, in excess of budget, be allocated for those cost centers whose remaining budget is not sufficient to cover the additional expense for the remainder of the fiscal year.

 

Previous Commission action/date:  05/02/2023: Approved salary increases for Appointed Staff.

 

06/20/2023: Approved new Assistant County Engineer position.
