Introduced by the Law & Courts, Administrative Services/Personnel, and Finance Committees of the:

INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE BUDGET TRANSFER WITHIN THE

FRIEND OF THE COURT 1999 BUDGET

RESOLUTION #99-296

WHEREAS, the federal Custody and Parenting Time Waiver expired September 30, 1999 and was not extended by the federal government; and

WHEREAS, it appears unlikely that the County will receive replacement funds from the State of Michigan or the federal government for the last quarter of 1999; and

WHEREAS, in anticipation of this event the Friend of the Court saved over the course of the year, through attrition and a hiring freeze implemented in September of 1999, approximately $222,000; and

WHEREAS, the Friend of the Court anticipates additional savings through line items of approximately $9,000 during this last quarter of 1999.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners authorizes the County Controller to make the appropriate budgetary transfers within the Friend of the Court 1999 budget.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the hiring freeze shall continue at the Friend of the Court through the end of 1999 and into 2000 so long as replacement funding cannot be identified sufficient to maintain operational levels identified in the 2000 county budget.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that in the event there are funds not utilized during the last quarter of 1999 by the Friend of the Court, either through attrition or line item savings, the Ingham County Board of Commissioners authorizes the County Controller to re-appropriate those funds into the Friend of the Court 2000 county budget to be used to offset the funding loss of the Custody and Parenting Time Waiver.
