DISCUSSION:
The Humboldt County Elections department is a mandated program and will have a FY 2022-23 deficit of $178,605.
Elections is requesting General Fund Contingency Funds to cover $80,472 and recognize $25,000 in revenue from the California Secretary of State Voters Choice Act Grant approved by your Board on March 15, 2022. In addition, Elections is requesting a $73,133 transfer from fund balance in the Record Conversion Fund (1310).
Of the $178,605 deficit, $29,455 will balance Salaries and Benefits mainly due to Extra-help used for conducting the two Elections in FY 2022-23 and $153,605 will balance Services and Supplies mainly due to the cost of producing ballots and inflationary costs associated to ballot production.
Elections revenue in the amount of $73,133 for FY 2022-23 is expected to be received in FY 2023-24 and will be deposited to the Record Conversion Fund (1310) to replenish the $73,133 of funds used to balance the Elections budget in FY 2022-23.
