<br />Discussion:
<br />
<br /> Initially, the Portsmouth School Board indicated by category how much money
<br />was needed during the fiscal year.
<br />
<br /> After a review of the expenditures for Fiscal Year 2014 – 2015, the Portsmouth
<br />School Board determined that there was a need to adjust some of the categories
<br />funding level in order to meet project cost for the remainder of the year.
<br />
<br /> The realignment is necessary to fully execute Information Technology projects
<br />and to ensure coverage of Instruction payroll costs.
<br />
<br /> On June 11, 2015, the Portsmouth School Board passed a resolution requesting
<br />that City Council realign its categorical funding to reflect the following:
<br />
<br />TABLE 1
<br /> Current Revised
<br />Categories Appropriation Adjustments Appropriation
<br />Instruction $97,579,946 $1,200,000 $98,779,946
<br />Administration, Attendance
<br />&Health 6,700,715 $6,750,715
<br />Pupil Transportation 6,462,636 $6,462,636
<br />Operation and
<br />Maintenance 18,187,095 (2,152,000) $16,035,095
<br />Facilities 0 0 $0
<br />Debt and Fund Transfer 3,606,530 $3,606,530
<br />Technology 7,581,027 952,000 $8,533,027
<br />Total General Fund $140,167,949 $0.00 $140,167,949
<br />
<br />Financial Impact
<br />
<br /> The realignment will increase and decrease certain categorical level of funding in
<br />
<br />the Fiscal Year 2014 -2015 Portsmouth Public Schools Operating Budget.
<br />
<br />Recommended Action:
<br />
<br /> Adoption of the ordinance. Vision Principles: Quality of Life and Lifelong Learning
<br />Community.
<br />
<br />Next Steps Following Council Action:
<br />
<br /> Finance will complete the necessary budget adjustments.
<br />
<br />Motion by Dr. Whitaker, and seconded by Mr. Meeks, to adopt the following
<br />ordinance, and was adopted by the following vote:
<br />
<br />“ORDINANCE TO REALIGN FY 2014-15 CLASSIFICATION FUNDING FOR THE
<br />PORTSMOUTH PUBLIC SCHOOLS OPERATING BUDGET.”
<br />
<br />Ayes: Cherry, Edmonds, Meeks, Moody, Psimas, Whitaker, Wright
<br />Nays: None
<br />
<br />15 - 247 - Adoption of an ordinance to appropriate $28,141 of funding received
<br />from the State Compensation Board in the FY 2015-16 General Fund Operating
<br />Budget to fund part-time positions in the Sheriff’s Department.
<br />Vision Principle:
<br />Efficient, Responsive Government.
<br />
<br />Background:
<br />
<br /> The Portsmouth Sheriff's Office will receive funding from the State Compensation
<br />
<br />Board of Virginia for part-time employees for FY2015-2016.
<br />
<br /> These dollars were not originally budgeted in the FY2015-2016 Operating Budget
<br />
<br />because the State Compensation Board does not always provide part-time dollars.
<br />
<br />Discussion:
<br />
<br />
<br /> Allows the Sheriff's Office to supplement staff with part-time employees.
<br />
<br />Financial Impact
<br />
<br /> There is no negative financial impact incurred by the City of Portsmouth.
