BACKGROUND:
Virginia Code § 15.2-2507 stipulates that any locality may amend its budget to adjust the aggregate amount to be appropriated during the fiscal year as shown in the currently adopted budget. However, any such amendment which exceeds one percent of the total expenditures shown in the currently adopted budget must be accomplished by first publishing a notice of a meeting and holding a public hearing before amending the budget. The Code section applies to all County funds, i.e., General Fund, Capital Funds, E911, School Self-Sustaining, etc.
The total of the new requested FY 2010 appropriations, itemized below, is $3,132,193.72. Because the cumulative amount of the appropriations exceeds one percent of the currently adopted budget, a budget amendment public hearing is required.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal 5: Develop a comprehensive funding strategy/plan to address the County’s growing needs.

The proposed increase of this FY 2010 Budget Amendment totals $3,132,193.72. The estimated expenses and revenues included in the proposed amendment are shown below:
