The monies needed to achieve this task will come partially from <br /> the funds earmarked for the county's share of the earthquake damages (which has an <br /> appropriation of $5,000,000 to the Transfer to Capital Projects Fund) and by zeroing out the <br /> Transfer to Budget Stabilization Fund appropriation. We hope to replenish the appropriation <br /> to the earthquake damages account in next fiscal year budget. <br /> Also, County Clerk Casey Jarman is requesting amendments to the fund balance <br /> appropriation bill affecting some of the Legislative Branch's accounts. These include <br /> appropriations to the Clerk's OCE (Miscellaneous Contractual Services) account and to the <br /> S&W (Overtime) and OCE (Postage & Freight and Electricity) accounts of the Elections <br /> Division. The monies for these appropriations will further decrease the earthquake damages <br /> funding. <br /> Enclosed is the proposed Draft 4 of Bill 37, which adds an appropriation for the Clerk-Council <br /> Svc - OCE account ($84,000), the Elections Division S&W account ($2,000 for Overtime), the <br /> Elections Division OCE account ($4,000-Postage & Freight & $10,000-Electricity); and <br /> increases the appropriation to the Legislative -Contingency account (by $270,000). Draft 4 <br /> also reduces the appropriations to the Transfer to Capital Projects Fund account (by <br /> ($264,975) and the Transfer to Budget Stabilization Fund account (by $105,025). <br /> `Bl~ ~J'7~ (~h~L{ y Comm.
