Accordingly, until such time as a Service Area is identified as progressing to a spending level challenging its appropriation, a budget amendment per 331.435 will not be implemented,

However, should a Program Activity approach a spending level challenging its appropriation level, and the Service Area continues balanced, the Board of Supervisors will be requested to increase the Program's spending authority by resolving to permit such, and,

Additionally, the Board of Supervisors may be requested to decrease a Program's appropriation by 10% or $5,000, whichever is greater, to appropriate a like amount to a Program Activity requesting same: 331.435 will govern actions in this regard.

The above and foregoing resolution was adopted by the Board of Supervisors of Woodbury County on June 20, 2006.
