a) Approve the Budget Revision Request No. 0002798 for the Department of Social Services (DSS) to:
i) Increase Revenues by $7.7 million of which $7.2 million is from 1991 Realignment due to caseload growth ($3.6 one-time, $3.6 ongoing), $0.9 million from an inter-fund transfer (Other Financing Sources), $1.8 million from Federal and State program allocations and a reduction of $2.2 million in Federal and State cash assistance revenue primarily due to lower than anticipated CalWORKs payments;
ii) Increase expenditures by $1.3 million in services and supplies, $0.9 million in Other Financing Uses (inter-fund transfer), $0.1 million in Salaries and Benefits, $0.05 million for Fixed Assets;
iii) Decrease other charges by $2.3 million, mainly from a reduction in cash assistance payments; and
iv) Increase Restricted Fund Balance by $5.0 million generated from increases in realignment funding; and increase in Committed Fund Balance by $2.7 million resulting from the reduced utilization of current year committed funds offset by the corresponding use of restricted funding.
COUNTY EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE
