2 <br />Capital Needs Advisory Task Force <br />3. During the budget planning process last spring, it was not clear if the Commissioners would <br />elect to move forward with a November 2001 bond referendum or if the referendum would: <br />come at a later date. As a result, no funds were included in the total General Fund budget <br />to allow for expenditures, such as group facilitation and supplies, related to the Capital <br />Needs Advisory Task Force. Since that time, the Board has decided to move forward with, <br />the November 2001 referendum date. In order to allow for expenditures for the recently <br />appointed Task Force, it is necessary to appropriate funds for this purpose. Expenditures for <br />the current fiscal year are estimated at $10,000. This budget amendment appropriates fund <br />balance, on an equal 50/50 share, from the County and School Capital Projects Fund <br />Balance. This is how the expenditures for the 1997 Capital Needs Advisory Task Force <br />were handled. The attached budget amendment provides for the transfer of the <br />appropriated fund balance from those two funds in to the County's General Fund. (See <br />column #3 of Attachment 1 of this agenda abstract). <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Financial impacts are included in the background information above. <br />RECOMMENDATION (S): The Manager recommends that the Board of County Commissioners <br />adopt the attached budget ordinance amendments and the CHCCS Smith Middle School <br />Construction Capital Project Ordinance. <br />
