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.

$30,044 is Added to Convert One Part-time Unclassified Kennel Assistant into One Full-Time Classified Kennel Assistant (One FTE) – Over the last two years, the ACAC has struggled to find part
time kennel assistant help. As a result, the kennel area is operating under a constant staff shortage. By reclassifying one of the PT positions to a FT position, the County will be able to stabilize team staffing and scheduling challenges and provide a more consistent level of care to ACAC animals. This increase is supported with $18,500 in designated fee revenue.
