Base Budget Discussion
The base budget is the estimated minimum cost for providing continued services/operations for each division/ department. It is based on the prior year approved budget with adjustments. This budget shows how much it would cost in the next fiscal year to operate the same programs in the current fiscal year.
• Base Salary and Fringe Benefit Adjustments – The FY 21 approved budget included a 3% compensation increase in Special Contingencies. These funds were distributed to County divisions off cycle during the budget year. In addition to the 3% compensation increase added to the base budget, the budget also includes an increase in the unemployment insurance rate from 0.23% to 0.53%. All other fringe benefits rates remain unchanged. Funding is also included to cover a 3% compensation increase, effective July 1, 2021. • Animal Control Officer Position (One FTE) Added to the Base Budget – As part of the FY 2021 approved budget, $58,417 was added for an Animal Control Officer to increase services and address workload issues in the County. This position was deferred and held in Special Contingencies for the FY 21 approved budget due to revenue concerns related to the Covid-19 pandemic. As revenues stabilized in FY 21, the position was transferred from Special Contingencies to the General Services Division and has become part of the base budget for FY 22.
Addenda & Reductions Discussion Addenda consist of dollars over and above the base budget target for operating and capital outlay expenses. Approved addenda items are often funding provided for new initiatives or expanded services but may also include normal cost increases. Addenda reductions may reflect reduced revenue and/or expense needed to equalize revenue shortfalls.
