Resolution for Appropriations FY2007 Whereas, it is
desired to make a separate appropriation for each of the different officers
and departments for the Fiscal Year beginning July 1, 2006 in accordance with
Section 331.434, Subsection 6, Code of Iowa. The board shall appropriate, by resolution, the amounts deemed
necessary for each of the different county officers and departments during
the ensuing fiscal year. Increases or decreases in these appropriations do
not require a budget amendment, but may be provided by resolution at a
regular meeting of the board, as long as each class of proposed expenditures
contained in the budget summary published under subsection 3 of this section
is not increased. However, decreases in appropriations for a county officer or
department of more than ten percent or five thousand dollars, whichever is
greater, shall not be effective unless the board sets a time and place for a
public hearing on the proposed decrease and publishes notice of the hearing
not less than ten nor more than twenty days prior to the hearing in the
county newspapers selected under chapter 349. Now, Therefore, be it Resolved, by the Board of Supervisors of Lee County, Iowa,
as follows: Section 1.
The amounts by department or office on the attached schedule are
hereby appropriated to the department or office listed in the first column on
the attached schedule for a period beginning July 1, 2006 through June 30,
2007. Section 2.
Subject to the provisions of other county procedures and regulations,
and applicable state law, the appropriations authorized under Section 1 shall
constitute authorization for the department or officer listed to make
expenditures or incur obligations effective July 1, 2006. Section 3. No
department or officer shall expend or contract to expend any money or incur
any liability, or enter into any contract, which by its terms involves the
expenditure of money for any purpose in excess of the amounts appropriated
pursuant to this resolution in with Section 331.437, Code of Iowa: It is unlawful for a county official, the
expenditures of whose office come under this part, to authorize the
expenditure of a sum for the official's department larger than the amount
which has been appropriated for that department by the board. A county official in charge of a department or
office who violates this law is guilty of a simple misdemeanor. The penalty
in this section is in addition to the liability imposed in section 331.476. Section 4. If
at any time during the Budget Year 2006-2007, the Auditor shall ascertain
that the available resources of a fund for that year will be less than said
fund’s total appropriation, he/she shall immediately so inform the board and
recommend appropriate corrective action. Section 5.
The Auditor shall establish separate accounts for the appropriations
authorized in Section 1, each of which account shall indicate the amount of
the appropriation, the amounts charged thereto, and the unencumbered
balance. The Auditor shall report the
status of such accounts to the applicable departments and officers monthly
during the Budget Year 2006-2007. Section 6.
All appropriations authorized pursuant to this resolution lapse at the
close of business June 30, 2007.
