MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION 194213
BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE, JOHN P. McCULLOCH, CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET - AMENDMENT TO POLICY ON
APPROPRIATIONS CARRIED FORWARD AND ENCUMBRANCES
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS through Miscellaneous Resolution #93156, the Oakland County
Board of Commissioners established a policy on appropriations carried
forward and encumbrances; and
WHEREAS a portion of that policy, included in Section III.C. (7) of
the FISCAL POLICY MANUAL and Section 24 of the 1994 General Appropriations
Act (M.R. #93269) states:
"Appropriations shall not be carried forward for more than six (6)
months into the budget year following the year in which they were
originally appropriated. A status report on Appropriations Carried
Forward will be incorporated as an integral part of the ensuing year's
Second Quarter Financial Forecast for the purposes of determining
their continuation for the remainder of the year."; and
WHEREAS this policy is designed to recapture unspent carried forward
appropriations so that they can be used for other purposes or returned to
fund balance; and
WHEREAS there are certain governmental appropriations that are
specified by State statute as to their use, i.e. a portion of State
Cigarette Tax funds which must be spent on Health Division prevention
programs, and therefore would simply be automatically reallocated to the
appropriate division and/or returned to the funding source; and
WHEREAS rather than recapture these funds, the Administration proposes
to allow unlimited carry forward of the specific funds, with a report being
provided annually with the Second Quarter Financial Forecast as to balance
and planned use.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes a revision to Section III.C. (7) of the FISCAL
POLICY MANUAL to include the following wording at the end the section:
Appropriations Carried Forward from funds which have uses
specifically designated by State statute shall be exempt from the
six (6) month limitation. However, the unspent portion of these
funds will still be reported annually with the Second Quarter
Financial Forecast.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Section 24 of the General Appropriations
Act be amended by adding the following after the fourth (4th) sentence:
Appropriations Carried Forward from funds which have uses
specifically designated by State statute shall be exempt from the
six (6) month limitation. However, the unspent portion of these
funds will still be reported annually with the Second Quarter
Financial Forecast.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move the adoption
of the foregoing resolution.
