10. TRANSFER EXPENDITURE AUTHORITY FOR CHECK ENFORCEMENT DATA ENTRY PROJECT Pursuant to A.R.S. § 42-17106, transfer FY 2010-11 expenditure appropriation of $75,000 from the Non-Departmental (470) Non-Departmental Grants Fund (249) Non-Recurring/Non-Project (0001) “Potential Expenditures from Fund Balance” line to County Attorney (190) Check Enforcement Program Fund (266) Non-Recurring/Non-Project (0001). Approval of this action will allow the County Attorney’s Office to hire temporary personnel to enter data into the Check Enforcement’s accounting and case management system. It will also allow the County Attorney to procure training from the accounting software vendor for program and technical support personnel. In 2008, the County Attorney’s Office implemented a new financial and case management system that integrated the County Attorney Information System (CAIS) software with a robust accounting system purchased from a third-party developer. At the time, historical data prior to 2008 was not entered into the new system, nor could it be converted. The missing data has proven problematic and made reconciliation of accounts difficult and time consuming. Once all the historical records are entered into the system, it is expected that future reconciliations will be more accurate and timely. This request is to utilize unexpended fund balance for a one-time purchase of temporary services and vendor training. There is no expectation of a continuation of expenditures past FY 2010-11.
