Explanation
BACKGROUND AND FISCAL IMPACT:
As part of the 2020 third quarter financial review, the Department of Finance and Management identified surpluses and deficits in various object classes in several divisions. In order to properly align appropriations with projected expenditures and allow divisions to operate without interruption through the end of 2020, it is necessary to transfer $720,142.00 among divisions within the general fund, to transfer $320,000 in cash from the general fund to the property management fund, and to authorize a supplemental appropriation in the property management fund.
