RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriation Adjustment No. 5044 transferring $421,000 in appropriations to Employment and Human Services (0501), Public Defender (0243), Public Works (0650, 0020) and the Treasurer-Tax Collector (0015) for fiscal year 2012-13 Venture Capital Projects.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Project funds are budgeted in the General Fund Contingency for FY 2012-13 (100% General Fund).

BACKGROUND:

The Board of Supervisors adopted a Budget Policy in 2006, which included a resource intended to improve departmental operations. Per this policy, in FY 2012-13 funding was made available for technology projects to be used to increase efficiencies and economies in departments that did not have resources available within their normal operating budgets for such expense. Requests for these funds were submitted with the Department’s baseline budgets. Departments included requests for $1.4 million and the County Administrator was able to recommend approximately $500,000 in venture capital project monies. The projects chosen for funding are expected to provide immediate and on-going benefit from the expenditure. FY 2012/13 venture capital projects recommended for funding are listed below. Please note that the finance Building Rewiring project is not included in the attached appropriation adjustment as this project is being added to the larger Finance building capital project.

Department	Amount	Project Title
Auditor-Controller/Treasurer/Tax Collector	TBD	Finance Building Rewiring
Employment and Human Services	$60,000	Electronic Appointment Scheduling System
Public Defender	$100,000	Desktop Computer and Monitor Refresh
Public Works	$105,000	Functional Analysis of General Services Dept Business Software
Public Works	$144,000	Procurement System Hardware and Licenses
Treasurer-Tax Collector	$12,000	Workstation Upgrades
TOTAL	$421,000

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Departments will not receive the resources needed to fund the aforementioned projects.
