Background and Rationale
body
Typically, Property Management reserves appropriations from year-to-year to fund operating projects not completed in their initial budget year. These funds pay for non-routine maintenance of county buildings. In the past, this was done through the year-end encumbrance process for each of the four Building funds. In 2021, funds were not encumbered and appropriations closed to fund balance.
To cover 2022 costs, Property Management is requesting a reappropriation from fund balance in the amount of $840,000 to cover these costs in 2022.
