GENERAL FUND Attorney The County Attorney's office has been working on preservation efforts in the Thompson Divide area related to potential gas exploration and extraction activities. At the time of budgeting for 2017, it was not known the extent of outside legal counsel necessary. Staff has now estimated the total 2017 cost and requests an increase to the related budget line. 2017 Revenue Expenditure Revised Budget Change Change Budget Attorney's Outside Counsel 50,000 - 65,000 115,000 65,000 I 1 Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) The Board of Equalization (BOE) sits on behalf of the BOCC to hear appeals of the Assessor's valuation of personal and real property, inclusive of appeals to Hearing Officers and Certified Arbitrators appointed by the BOCC. This was a re-evaluation year and the appeal numbers came in more than budgeted for in 2017. 2017 Revenue Expenditure Revised Budget Change Change Budget BOE Hearing Officers 32,700 - 15,000 47,700 15,000 Detention Having older inmates spending longer periods of time incarcerated results in medical costs greater than budgeted. While the Jail makes every effort to limit its financial liability for doctors and hospital visits, it only takes a small number of needy inmates to incur medical costs. The Jail contracts out for inmate nursing services. The rigors of detention health, all-hours phone calls and increased use of technology made retention of nurses difficult. This turnover, added to increasing inmate needs, has resulted in cost overruns. 2017 Revenue Expenditure Revised Budget Change Change Budget Inmate Health/Nursing Services 15,425 - 30,000 45,425 Inmate Health/Hospital Services 10,000 - 20,000 30,000 50,000 Land Management On October 25th, 2017 the BOCC approved a supplemental appropriation for rockfall mitiation work at the top of Ute Trail. A lightning strike dislodged approximately 10-15 cubic yards of rock from the iconic overlook. This overlook is on a mining claim owned by the County. The event deposited rock debris along the Ute Trail, South Ute Avenue, a private driveway, a pedestrian and bike trail, and into Ute Park. Bids for mitigation of the remaining loose rock came in much higher than anticipated. This supplemental request is to revise the budget for the project. 2017 Revenue Expenditure Revised Budget Change Change Budget Land Management Rockfall Purchased Servi 9,000 - - 9,000 Land Management Rockfall Contracted Servi 26,000 - 89,000 115,000 89,000 FUND BALANCE CODING: UNRESTRICTED GENERAL FUND TOTAL - 219,000 NET INCREASE/(DECREASE) FUND BALANCE (219,000) 2 HUMAN SERVICES FUND Adult and Family Services (AFS) has been successful applying for and being awarded grants to support the Workforce Wellbeing and Trauma, Grief and Loss practice transformation projects.
