RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE 2008 BUDGET BY TRANSFERING FUNDS FROM

THE JUVENILE JUSTICE MILLAGE TO THE STATE WARDS ACCOUNT

WITHIN THE CHILD CARE FUND

RESOLUTION #09-105

WHEREAS, Ingham County and the State of Michigan are each responsible for 50% of the cost of placements for delinquent and permanent neglect wards who have been committed to the State Department of Human Services; and

WHEREAS, the actual cost of these placements greatly exceeded the budget in 2008; and

WHEREAS, the portion of these costs spent on delinquent wards are eligible for reimbursement from the proceeds of the Juvenile Justice Millage; and

WHEREAS, in order to ensure that Juvenile Justice Millage Funds are not used for neglect expenses, the stateward expenses should be accounted for in separate accounts for delinquent and neglect; and

WHEREAS, the Juvenile Justice Millage Fund is anticipated to have a fund balance of approximately $4.9 million at the end of 2008.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that account 29266213 832500, “state ward,” be renamed “state ward - delinquent”, and account 29266213 832600, “state ward – neglect,” be established.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners authorizes the 2008 transfer of $654,926 from the Juvenile Justice Millage to the state wards - delinquent account within the Child Care Fund.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Controller/Administrator is authorized to make any necessary budget adjustments.
