3.05* Resolution Adopting County Budget Policy - On March 9, 2004, the Board of Supervisors adopted a
resolution approving changes to the Budget Appropriation Transfer Policy that provided additional
ability for County department heads to manage their budgets. Since that time, certain County
practices have changed and the state's County Budget Act has been updated. Administration,
working with the department head Finance Work Team, has developed a new County Budget Policy
to account for these changes, clarify certain responsibilities, and provide additional ability for
department heads to efficiently manage their budgets. Specifically, the policy maintains the current
requirement for Board of Supervisors approval to increase appropriations within a budget unit, but
continues to allow department heads, with approval of the Chief Administrative Officer, to move
appropriations between objects of expenditure such as "salaries and employee benefits" and
"services and supplies." The policy adds flexibility related to the acquisition of capital assets by
allowing, in cases where the final cost of the asset exceeds the authorized amount by 10% or less, to
transfer funds from elsewhere in the budget unit to complete the purchase. Additionally, the policy
clarifies that transfers or revisions of appropriations to internal service funds (general liability,
utilities, etc.) and enterprise funds (Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility) do not require Board of
Supervisors approval by statue, policy or governmental accounting guidelines. The budgets for these
business-like services are operating plans, not legal restrictions on spending action requested -
