is to maintain a reserve of expenditure authority from which specific amounts can
be transferred to other appropriated budgets after adoption of the annual budget to
cover emergency or critical items. Contingency appropriations will be established
within Non Departmental for the General Fund, Detention Fund, and other funds as
appropriate. Contingency appropriations will be established for general purposes
or reserved for specific issues. The Board of Supervisors must approve all
transfers from Contingency appropriations.
4. ADMINISTRATION: Non Departmental budgets will be administered by the Office
of Management and Budget under the direction of the County Manager and the
Deputy County Manager. The Deputy County Manager or designee must
authorize all expenditures prior to incurring obligations or making payments.
