Background and Discussion:

On February 8, 2022, Commissioners Court voted to adopt the proposed General Fund budget with an adjustment to provide a 3% salary increase for law enforcement department deputies, with the increased cost to be funded by capitalizing $4.7M of Engineering costs and reducing the Engineering General Fund budget that same amount.  $4.1M will be added to law enforcement department budgets and $0.6M will be added back to General Fund admin. The 3% raise will be effective with the pay period beginning March 12, 2022. 

 

The Office of Management and Budget has worked with Engineering and have identified $4.7M of expenses that can be capitalized and will be moved to Fund 3109.  To accommodate this, $4.7M will be transferred from the General Administration Department to Engineering in Fund 3109.Engineering has identified additional employees who are currently funded through the general fund who will be funded by mobility funds. Engineering employees who work solely on road & bridge projects currently funded by mobility transfers will be reclassified and funded by road & bridge funds. The details of the shift of these positions is attached to this RCA.

 

The following table clarifies the final, adopted General Fund budget for the Law Enforcement Agencies, Engineering and General Administration:
