Fiscal Year 2018-19 Budget Amendment#8 <br /> 28 The Board considered voting to approve budget, county capital, and school capital <br /> 29 project ordinance amendments for fiscal year 2018-19 for Department of Environment, <br /> 30 Agriculture, Parks and Recreation (DEAPR); Health Department; Orange County Schools <br /> 31 Capital Projects; and Article 46 Sales Tax Proceeds. <br /> 32 <br /> 33 Commissioner Marcoplos said he would like to understand the accounting process for <br /> 34 the Article 46 sales tax proceeds. He asked if there a reason why the County ends up with <br /> 35 additional collected funds, when presumably the money is disbursed annually. <br /> 36 Paul Laughton, Finance and Administrative Services, said the Article 46 Sales Tax <br /> 37 actual revenues since inception (April 2012) has been higher than the budgeted amounts. He <br /> 38 said the $1.1 million that is part of Budget Amendment #8 represents collection amounts <br /> 39 exceeding the budgeted amount. He said in the future, staff will bring forward budget <br /> 40 amendments on an annual basis following the completion of the financial audit. <br /> 41 Chair Rich asked if these Article 46 funds are part of the percentage, which is given to <br /> 42 the schools. <br /> 43 Paul Laughton said this is separate, and is part of the CIP. He said the 48.1% is used <br /> 44 on current expense, debt service, long range and recurring capital, etc. He said this is put in by <br /> 45 the ADM. <br /> 46 Chair Rich said it is above the target. <br /> 47 Paul Laughton said yes. <br /> 48 Commissioner McKee said this is a good thing. <br /> 49 Commissioner Dorosin said since it is not counted in the 48.1%, it would be good to <br /> 50 have an assessment of the total amount of education funding. <br />
