FROM: Mark McCauley, Central Sery i rector I
DATE: June 22,2020
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION No. re: Supplemental Budget Reductions for Various
County Funds in Response to the Covid-19 Pandemic
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Covid-19 pandemic has triggered a recession which is significantly
reducing revenues available to fund county services. In order to mitigate the loss of revenue expenditure
budgets in general fund departments and certain other funds need to be reduced. This will help cushion the
loss and will help maintain the long-term financial viability of the county.
ANALYSIS: Staff updated the general fund six-year model using the projected revenue losses of$965,000
in 2020 and $1,265,000 in 2021. The model indicated that the general fund budget needed to be reduced by
.088 percent or by$150,192. The Board of County Commissioners approved staff's recommended reduction
target for each general fund department, which were then issued to the departments. The reductions
submitted by the general fund departments total $208,066 and are summarized in the attached hearing
resolution and detailed in the attached.
A number of managers of other funds also submitted expenditure and revenue budget reductions which are
also summarized in the attached hearing resolution and detailed in the attached tables.
A Hearing Notice for this hearing was approved by the Board of County Commissioners and June 8, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT: General Fund: expenditure budget reduction of$208,066 and revenue reduction of
$4,591 for a total impact of$212,657. Other funds: expenditure budget reductions of$51,611 and revenue
reductions of$20,074 (most of which resulted from reductions in transfers from the General Fund) for a
total impact of$71,685.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached Resolution approving the proposed Covid-19
budget reductions.
