Solid Waste Department 7. During the course of construction of the new Solid Waste Administration Building, change orders totaling $282,370 were issued. This budget amendment transfers these funds, mainly associated with rock removal, from the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund to the Operations Center Capital Project (See Attachment 1, column #4 and Solid Waste Enterprise Fund Operations Center Capital Project Ordinance) County and School Capital Project Funds 8. On February 3, 2009, Commissioners approved a plan to correct prior years' county and school capital budgets. The goal of the approved plan was to reconcile individual project revenue and expenditure budgets with actual financial activity. According to the plan, this reconciliation would be accomplished through a number of transfers of monies between funds and projects. This amendment recommends the Board take the first budgetary step to accomplish the goal -transfer $3.5 million from the County's General Fund plus $589,044 from the School Capital Reserve Fund to the school and county project funds. (See Attachment 1, column #5) In April 2009, staff will ask the Board fo carryout the second step of the approved plan by transferring monies between individual school and county projects via individual capital project ordinances. At that time, staff will provide detailed financial information regarding individual projects. The final step of the approved plan, appropriation of an additional $2.391 million from the County's fund balance to school and county projects, will come to the Board with the Manager's Recommended FY 2009-10 budget in May 2009. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Financial impacts are included in the background information above. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board of County Commissioners approve the budget and capital project ordinance amendments and amends the County fee schedule for FY 2008-09.
