3. Identify programs or divisions with significant (>10%) budget increases or decreases <br /> from the current year and the rationale for change in FY98. What impact do you expect these <br /> changes to have on services provided? <br /> The computer equipment account of the Clerk's Office shows $100,000 for 9 laptop computers., <br /> maintenance, etc. In fact, the monies are intended to not only purchase 9 laptop computers for <br /> council members, but to cover any possible overage in the Council's computer system contract <br /> implementation. <br /> 4. Breakdown your department budget by division and funding source (federal, state, <br /> county, other). List programs or services provided under each. <br /> All funding to operate the Clerk's Office is derived from county funding sources. <br /> 5. Provide a copy of Form #B-202 for major equipment request (>$10,000) budgeted for in <br /> FY98 by division. If Form #B-202 is not available, provide justification for each major <br /> equipment request.. <br /> See attached #B-202 for computers. Justification is provided in Item #3 above. <br /> 6. List major professional service contracts (>$25,000) budgeted for in FY98 by division <br /> and the rationale for each major contract. <br /> $30,000 has been budgeted for video taping of council and committee meetings. The video <br /> taping and showing on Na Le'o (public access channel) increases public outreach and awareness <br /> of the business of the council and its committees. <br /> $90,000 has been budgeted to conduct the external financial audit as required by the County <br /> Charter. The audit period for FY96-97 will be paid for from the FY97-98 budget. This is the <br /> final year of the four year contract with Deloitte & Touche. <br /> 7. What programs or services would you like to provide but are unable to do so? If any, <br /> describe. <br /> There is a desire to conduct more program management audits of county programs. This would <br /> <br /> require 1) more monies for outside contractual services and/or 2) restructuring of the Legislative <br /> Auditor's Office to increase qualified staff under independent management of the Auditor with <br /> the sole responsibility of performing program audits. <br /> 8. Are there either funding sources (e.g. grants, entitlements, etc) other than those already in <br /> place that could supplement or enhance programs or services currently provided? If any, <br /> describe the source and why you have not been able to access the funding. <br /> The Clerk is looking into the availability of federal grants or other sources of funding a portion <br /> of video taping equipment, etc. <br /> 2 <br /> <br />
