County Board (2/3 Vote) A RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, department requests for transfers within their own accounts have been

received by the Department of Administrative Services, Fiscal Affairs, and the Director finds that the best interests of Milwaukee County will be served by allowance of such transfers;

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Director, Department of Administrative

Services, is hereby authorized to make the following transfers in the 2007 appropriations of the respective listed departments:

From To 1) 3090 County Treasurer 8466 Unpaid Personal Property Tax Chargeback $80,703 1213 Interest on Delinquent Real Property Tax $80,703

A 2007 fund transfer of $80,703 is requested by the County Treasurer from Interest on

Delinquent Real Property Tax to Unpaid Personal Property Tax Chargeback. The Treasurer has received chargeback billings totaling $406,104 in 2007 from the municipalities. That amount exceeds the 2007 budgeted amount by $106,104. In order to avoid a budget deficit in the 8000 account series, and in compliance with State Statute, an appropriation transfer is required.

At the third quarter, the County Treasurer reported a surplus in Interest on delinquent

Real Property Tax of $700,000. By the end of December, this surplus is over $900,000. While this fund transfer will reduce the year-end surplus, the Department will meet its year-end projection.
