RESOLUTION 01-24-08-B1
LOAN AND TRANSFER FROM THE GENERAL BASIC FUND TO THE MH/DD FUND IN THE FY08 BUDGET
Whereas, budgeted tax revenues in the MH/DD Fund are intended for the normal operation of the department and payment of claims; and
Whereas, an insufficient amount of fiscal year 2008 budgeted tax revenues in the MH/DD Fund have been collected to date, but will be fully collected in 2008. This creates the possibility of a temporary shortage of cash currently; and
Whereas, there is sufficient cash in the General Basic Fund to temporarily loan to the MH/DD Fund; and
Whereas, the interfund loan will be repaid by the MH/DD Fund as tax revenues are credited to the fund, and amended into the final payout in the general fund in fiscal year 2008;
Therefore be it resolved that 1) $600,000 be loaned from the General Basic Fund to the MH/DD Fund during fiscal year 2008, and 2) authorize the Johnson County Auditor to transfer $600,000 to the MH/DD fund from the General Basic Fund during fiscal year 2008, and 3) authorize the Johnson County Auditor to transfer the repayment of the interfund loan as receipts become available in the MH/DD Fund in fiscal year 2008.
Motion by Neuzil, second by Meyers, to approve Resolution 01-24-08-B1.
