NARRATIVE SUMMARY OF BUDGET AMENDMENTS <br /> OPERATING BUDGET 2003-2004 <br /> GENERAL FUND <br /> REVENUES: <br /> Real property tax revenues have been adjusted to reflect the <br /> certified net taxable real property values. <br /> In intergovernmental revenues, several changes have been <br /> reflected. Estimates for Transient Accommodations Tax (TAT) <br /> collections and the EMS contract have been revised. We <br /> deleted the Sex Crime Units grant and have added grants for <br /> Transit Administration, Firefighter Safety, Greetings <br /> Program, and Visitor Aloha Program. <br /> Revenues from charges for services have been amended by a) <br /> reducing Automotive's fuel and repair charges, b) adding <br /> microwave maintenance and training/seminar fees, and c) <br /> revising various Park Department's revenue estimates. <br /> In other revenue, accounts for flex spending forfeitures and <br /> Department of Water Supply's reimbursement of attorney costs <br /> have been added and the private contribution revenue <br /> estimate revised. In addition, the sale of real property <br /> account has been increased to reflect the sale of Hamakua <br /> lands. <br /> <br /> EXPENDITURES: <br /> COUNTY CLERK/COUNCIL <br /> The Clerk/Council's budget for office supplies has been <br /> reduced to fund changes in the telephone and HSAC/NACO <br /> accounts. <br /> <br /> ELECTIONS <br /> The Election Division has eliminated a Senior Election Clerk <br /> position and added two Election Clerk II positions to better <br /> serve the public and meet the mandates of recently passed <br /> federal election reforms. <br /> <br /> FINANCE <br /> Finance proposes to use a portion of the proceeds of the <br /> initial sale of Hamakua lands to fund costs for future <br /> sales. In addition, Treasury has amended its budget to <br /> reflect the increase in staffing and Accounts Division has <br /> increased its temporary assignment funding. <br /> <br />
