Re Resolution Transferring $350,000 from the Contingency Relief Account to
the Vacation Pay Account
Last year Mayor Yamashiro's proposed FY 2000-01 budget to the County
Council included funds in the Vacation Pay account for appointees expecting to
leave county service at the end of his term As part of the Council's
amendments, it reduced the Mayor's vacation pay proposal and included this
amount in its Contingency Relief account
Since July 1, 2000, County departments have been using their Salanes and
Wages accounts to pay for unused vacation of employees leaving the County
Recognizing this, affected departments were asked in early January to evaluate
their Salaries and Wages accounts to determine the adequacy of respective
accounts Besides the amount spent on vacation pay, departments were to also
consider the amount saved on unfilled positions
Based on information received, we have determined that $450,000 will be
needed in the Vacation Pay account for those who already left and for those
planning to leave the County on or before June 30, 2001 Since there is currently
$100,000 in this account, $350,000 is the balance needed for the remainder of
the year
Departments with major protected shortages in Salaries and Wages due to
vacation pay are Police ($125,693), Office of Management ($116,314), and
Parks 8 Recreation ($89,002). Since we now have reasonably accurate
protections for the year, we would like to replenish Salanes and Wages of
affected departments , I
