BUDGET ORDINANCE IMPACT
Appropriate $47,500 of Federal funds from the Fund Balance into Equipment and Furniture account.
BACKGROUND
The Child Support Program earns Federal incentives for establishing cases and collecting child support payments timely. The remaining settlement payment was received by the county in June 2017, therefore, the funds were rolled into the County Fund Balance. The amount of this payment was $118,237. These funds are to be used to enhance the Child Support Program. We are requesting to appropriate $47,500 of these incentive funds into the Equipment/Furniture account to purchase laptops for the agents, supervisors, and attorney. They will be able to use these laptops in the office and in court.
