FISCAL YEAR 2024-25 FIRST QUARTER OPERATIONAL PLAN STATUS REPORT AND BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS (DISTRICTS: ALL)

OVERVIEW
This report summarizes the status of the County's Fiscal Year 2024-25 Adopted Operational Plan, as measured by projected year-end fund balance from current year operations.

The projected balance for all other funds combined is $38.4 million (1.3% of the other funds combined budget).
Transfers and revisions to the amended budget can be made by formal action of the Board of Supervisors in accordance with the California County Budget Act, Government Code (GC) Section 29125.
