Meeting Date:	09/14/2015
Submitted for:	Oscar Villarreal	Prepared by:	Oscar Villarreal
Department:	Elections Administration

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve the following line item transfer for the Elections department:

	Acct. Number	Acct. Name	Amount	Bal.	End Bal.
From:	001-0107-6705	Election Expense	$3,450	$4,160	$710
To:	001-0107-5003	Overtime	$3,450	$2,550	$6,000

Issue: The Department of Labor - Wage and Hour Division (DOL-WHD) conducted an investigation of the hours worked in excess of the regular 40 hours per week by Election Office staff within the previous two years to determine if they were under-compensated for the hours they had worked. At the conclusion of the investigation, it was determined that these four employees were owed a cumulative total of $5,856.47.

Solution: Transfer funds from the Elections Expense account (no more elections to be conducted in 2014-2015 fiscal year) into the Overtime account to cover the shortfall and be able to "cash out" these employees with no impact to the General Fund.

Result: The employees will be paid what was determined by the DOL-WHD they were owed and the County will be able to provide the proof by the deadline date.
