The Honorable Board of Supervisors
County of Los Angeles
383 Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration
500 West Temple Street
Los Angeles, CA 90012
Adopt the attached final changes to the 2001-02 Proposed County Budget.
The purpose of these Final Changes is to reflect changes in funding requirements and revenues since adoption of the Proposed Budget by your Board on April 24, 2001. The majority of these changes reflect additional revenue to more accurately and appropriately depict program requirements, as well as cost neutral internal reallocations.
Board approval of the adjustments is recommended to ensure that the Final Budget adopted by your Board reflects the most accurate and updated budget information available.
The attached Final Changes will increase the total County budget by $238.1 million, from $16.0 billion, as reflected in the Proposed Budget, to $16.2 billion. Budgeted positions will increase by 469.1 from 95,065.2 to 95,534.3; this is primarily due to increases in Child Support Services (212.0), Probation (178.0) and Public Social Services (153.0), partially offset by a net decrease of 243.9 positions in Health Services. Additionally, all recommended position increases comply with your Board order of December 12, 2000 on item control monitoring.
All changes are fully offset by program specific or other revenues, resulting in a balanced recommended budget.
Major revenue-offset changes include the following:
The Final Recommended Budget for the Department of Health Services (DHS) reflects a $53.0 million gross appropriation increase. Major program changes include:
The major changes reflected in the final changes for the Capital Projects budget are:
