ITEM TITLE:
Title
Motion 23-438, approving a budget transfer or reallocation within the Department of Human Services (Energy Assistance Fund)
body
DEPARTMENT: Human Services
ORIGINATOR: Lori Corbray
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved by Lacey Harper 9/27/23
PURPOSE: The purpose of this transfer is to modify current appropriations between Pending Grants and the Energy Assistance Program budgets to meet program needs for 2023.
BACKGROUND: A review of the current program budget for the Energy Assistance indicates that an adjustment is needed to support planned activities through 12/31/23. The program has received additional federal funding in the current year to provide heating and cooling assistance to eligible Snohomish County residents. Also, Commerce has notified program management that the contract to provide residents with water and sewer assistance will be amended to add a no cost extension. These changes in grant contracts require an increase in county budget appropriation to support the projected increases in client assistance expenditures and related operating costs.
These activities were not anticipated during the 2023 budget process. An offsetting reduction is being made from Human Services Pending Grants.
