Memorandum
Date: June 3, 2025
To: The Honorable Eddie Crandell, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Rachael Dillman Parsons, Social Services Director
Subject: Approve Budget Transfer of $2,000,000 in appropriations from Budget Unit 5011, Social Services Admin to Budget Unit 5121 Public Assistance, and authorize the Chair to sign
Executive Summary:
Staff is requesting the approval to transfer appropriations in the amount of $2,000,000 from DSS account 168-5011-750.01-11 to the following DSS accounts $2,673 to 169-5121-751.28-30; $623,000 to 169-5121-751.40-30; and $1,374,327 to account 169-5121-751.40-44.
Budget Unit 5011 has Realignment 1991 available to transfer so an operating transfer journal will be processed from 168-5011-502.81-23 to 169-5121-502.81-22. This transfer of funds is needed due to assistance payments to clients from Budget Unit 5121 being much higher than originally anticipated for Fiscal Year 24/25.
