Summary

Oakland County’s finance committee approved distributing non-departmental IT budgeted funds to departmental budgets to cover first-quarter IT expenses, covering roughly $1.7 million for general fund departments, about $1 million in direct charges, and $3,004,450 for nine agencies.

Oakland County’s Finance Committee voted to distribute first-quarter IT costs from a non-departmental budget to departmental and agency accounts.

Rhonda Abernathy, the county’s chief information officer, and Kim Marango, director of application client services, explained the request is to reallocate planned non-departmental funds so departments can reimburse IT for services provided in quarter one. Abernathy said the memo shows "roughly 1,700,000.0 for general fund, general purpose county departments, and then about $1,000,000 for direct charges to special revenue and proprietary funds, and about $3,004,450 dollars for 9 county agencies."

Committee members asked no substantive questions; the motion to approve the allocation passed on the committee vote. The funds will permit IT to close out quarter-one billing and adjust departmental ledgers to reflect actuals.

The committee recorded the vote in open session and advanced the item to the board agenda for final placement.
