Add 6 Federal Revenue SharinE This budget contemplates Federal Revenue. Sharing receipts of $3,280,000. The Federal Office of Revenue Sharing indicates that the renewal legislation calls for greater public inter- vention into the decision-making process by requiring two public hearings before adopting Revenue Sharing Budgets and two public hearings for each material change thereafter. Consequently, it behooves the County to allocate Revenue Sharing Funds to areas easily estimate0 and relatively stable. Therefore, the $3,280,000 of 1977 Revenue Sharing Funds is fully allocated to the Sheriff's. Department to partially fund that departments' $6.6 million budget. and, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Oakland County 1977 Revenue Budget be amended as follows: Adopted Amended Action Account Page Budget Budg.et, Variance Delete Countercyclical Funds II $1,100,000 -- • $(1,100,000) Delete Year End Balance III 1,225,000 -- (1,225,000) Add Year End Balance III -- 1,000,000 1,000,000 Sub-Total 1,225,000 ' 1,000,000 (225,000) Delete Total Revenue III 67,280,269 __ (67,280,269) .
