Meeting Date:	08/14/2017
Submitted for:	Martin Cuellar	Prepared by:	Anita Guerra
Department:	Sheriff

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve the following budget amendment (line item transfer); and any other matters incident thereto. [Grant Fund #2593 (JAG 2016)]

	Acct. Number	Acct. Name	Amount	Bal.	End Bal.
From:	2593-3010-001-460105	Minor Tools/Apparatus	$1,264	$3,777	$2,513
To:	2593-3010-001-461000	Materials and Supplies	$1,264	$4,772	$6,036

Issue: Saving from the purchase of video cameras meant that the same originally budgeted amount of funds were available for the purchase of an additional eight (8) cameras from the same original amount. Furthermore, the administration of the Webb County Sheriff's Office determined that a smaller size of fire extinguisher would be a better purchase; and, therefore, a larger number of fire extinguishers for the same budgeted amount could be purchased. In addition, certain items, such as car jacks and tool boxes, were also determined to be no longer needed and, therefore, no longer required acquisition.

Solution: A no-cost budget adjustment and associated line item transfers would be able to adjust the grant budget to this new determination of needs and required reallocation of grant funds.

Result: The Webb County Sheriff's Office will be able to obtain the necessary supplies and equipment in accordance with their most recently updated priorities and determined needs.
