BUDGET TRANSFERS
6.A.
Transfer of funds from account nos. 5000-4510-53090 (other professional services) and
5000-4510-53300 (repair and maintenance facilities) to account nos. 5000-4510-50010
(overtime), 5000-4510-51010 (employer share IMRF), 5000-4510-51030 (employer share
social security) and 5000-4510-52200 (operating supplies and materials) in the amount of
$16,000 for the following reason: The estimates for the construction of a new doorway
came in significantly over what had been budgeted in the grant application, so the
construction project was cancelled. The estimate for a QAS audit is less than what had
been originally budgeted. The funds from these two categories will be moved to
overtime (personnel) and supplies. (Sheriff's Office)
Members Jim Zay and Brian Krajewski inquired as to the reason for so many budget
transfers, especially this early in the year, and whether staff needed training. Chief
Financial Officer Jeff Martynowicz indicated that currently his budget team is meeting
with staff to review the process for the new budget software platform. CFO Martynowicz
also commented that his team is working on a proposed modification to the budget policy
and will soon be bringing that forward to the Board for consideration.
Member Mary Ozog asked what the purpose of this new doorway was and whether
construction costs and supply chain issues are necessitating so many budget transfers.
Deputy Chief Dan Bilodeau of the Sheriff's Office explained that this proposed new
doorway would have made the process to check in and receive evidence more efficient,
but that since estimates for the cost of the doorway exceeded the budgeted amount in the
grant, the construction project was cancelled and these funds are being transferred back to
the operational lines within the grant.
The motion was approved on a voice vote, all "ayes".
