ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION FOR
THE ANIMAL SERVICES FUND
COMPANY 1100, ACCOUNTING UNIT 1300
$152,000
resolution
WHEREAS, appropriations for the ANIMAL SERVICES FUND for Fiscal Year 2024 were adopted by the County Board pursuant to Ordinance FI-O-0009-23; and
WHEREAS, an order was placed for a 2025 replacement Animal Control Van with no projected delivery date. This was put on order because procuring these vehicles has been challenging with long lead times. The department was notified on 04/30/2024 that the order was fulfilled, and the vehicle was ready for delivery. The current vans are rusted, having more significant maintenance issues, and some have even been pulled for safety concerns. Lead times on customizing the vans with animal cages and equipment are also long. The department would like to take advantage of early delivery to ensure a timely replacement of their fleet. Vans AC1 and AC2 are slated for replacement in 2025. To cover the cost of a new vehicle and increased expenses related to custom fabrication and installation of the animal cages and equipment for two vehicles, there is a need for an additional appropriation in the ANIMAL SERVICES FUND - COMPANY 1100, ACCOUNTING UNIT 1300 in the amount of $152,000 (ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-TWO THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS); and
WHEREAS, there is sufficient unappropriated cash in the ANIMAL SERVICES FUND - COMPANY 1100, ACCOUNTING UNIT 1300 to support an additional appropriation of $152,000 (ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-TWO THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS); and
WHEREAS, the need to provide an additional appropriation in the amount of $152,000 (ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-TWO THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS) in the ANIMAL SERVICES FUND - COMPANY 1100, ACCOUNTING UNIT 1300 creates an emergency within the meaning of the Counties Act, Budget Division, (55 ILCS 5/6-1003).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the DuPage County Board that an additional appropriation (Attachment) in the amount of $152,000 (ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-TWO THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS) in the ANIMAL SERVICES FUND - COMPANY 1100, ACCOUNTING UNIT 1300 is hereby approved and added to the Fiscal Year 2024 Appropriation Ordinance.

Enacted and approved this 14th day of May, 2024 at Wheaton, Illinois.
