Executive Officer
Background
Following CARB’s March 1995 review of the AQMD’s Three-Year Budget Forecast, several recommendations were made by the state regarding AQMD programs. In the budget area, CARB recommended that staff report on all midyear revisions to the budget approved by the Board or by the divisions under the Executive Officer’s authority. This is the fifth annual report of budget changes.
The attached Board-approved budget changes reflect actions taken by the Board to increase the budget or transfer budget moneys between Major Objects (Salaries; Services and Supplies; Capital Equipment). The division-requested budget changes do not increase the budget but reallocate already-budgeted funds within a Major Object. All expenditures relating to these increases and/or transfers follow Board-established policy regarding purchasing and contracting.
