Animal Shelter <br />6. On March 24, 2005, the Board of County Commissioners received asix-month progress <br />report for the Animal Shelter. Included in this report was a fiscal analysis that indicated a need <br />for additional funds in the amount of $90,000 for FY 2004-05.. This budget shortfall is due to <br />additional temporary personnel needed to handle the unanticipated workload, medication <br />expenses associated with an "early detection program," start up animal supplies, and other <br />various unanticipated expenses encountered during this first year of County operations. This <br />budget amendment provides for the appropriation of $90,000 from the General Fund's fund <br />balance to the Animal Shelter to cover these additional expenses in FY 2004-05. (See <br />Attachment 1, column #6) <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 />approve the attached budget ordinance and grant project ordinance amendments. <br />
