Due to the higher interest rate environment, the County is able to generate additional revenue from investing its cash on hand. Through three quarters, the County has generated over $1 million above its original budget in interest income. This budget amendment recognizes $425,000 of that revenue in order to absorb two unbudgeted expenses that have occurred during the year. First, since the start of the pandemic, the County has been incurring $4.3 million of expenses to charge to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for reimbursement. After a careful review of expenses in the fund, $150,000 of those expenses are not eligible for FEMA reimbursement, and must be absorbed by the General Fund. Second, the Asset Management Services Department has contended with rising inflation in its natural gas, building supply, and building repairs funds, and requires $275,000 in additional authorization to maintain services through year end.
