<br />2) Correction of Funding Source -The County Capital Project Fund project ordinances listed
<br />below correct the method used to move funds from one project to another. In past years funds
<br />have been moved from one project to another by intrafund transfers. This is not "best practice" in
<br />the accounting industry and should not be done for the following reasons:
<br />1) Transfers are only to be used for budgeted movements between funds, not for budgeted
<br />movements within the same fund. The use of transfers within the same fund will result in an
<br />inflated figure for both the budgeted amount of money and the actual amount of money in the
<br />fund.
<br />2) The use of transfers between projects can obscure the actual source of funds being used to
<br />pay for any one project, thus making it difficult to track and properly account for the use of
<br />restricted fund sources such as debt financing and grants.
<br />The best practice is to reduce the funding source of the project from which funds are being moved.
<br />Conversely the project receiving additional funding will show an increase in its fund source. In the
<br />chart below, projects with the same number followed by a letter indicate those projects in which funds
<br />were first reduced (project "A") and then increased (project "B°), thus correcting the inappropriate
<br />"transfer" between projects.
<br />The current Project Ordinance budgets for Homestead Aquatics and Southern Park are also out of
<br />balance by offsetting amounts. Project ordinances 8A and 8D correct those balances.
<br />The Twin Creeks (Moniese Nomp) Park Project Ordinance 6C, Lands Legacy Project Ordinance 86
<br />and Northem Human Service Center (now Cedar Grove)-Park Ordinance 8C are being amended to
<br />align revenues with expenditures by including the remaining funding from the April 2009 Altemative
<br />Financing and future financing.
<br />In addition, Central Recreation Repairs Ordinance 5A is being reduced by $51,060 to provide funding
<br />needed to cover over expended budgets in the Greenways Development project and Homestead
<br />Community Center project.
