Committee adds $15,000 proviso for Friends of Cedar Crest; director recommends proviso language
Summary
The committee voted to add $15,000 to the Administration budget for Friends of Cedar Crest to buy soft goods tied to the governor transition and directed that the funds be accompanied by proviso language clarifying use and reporting.
The Committee on General Government Budget voted to add $15,000 to the Department of Administration budget for the Friends of Cedar Crest to purchase soft goods related to the governor transition and directed staff to include proviso language that specifies how the funds are to be spent.
Director Adam Proffitt recommended the amount be treated as a distinct fund item within the administration budget and accompanied by proviso language to direct spending: "I would see it as its own into a fund in the Department of Administration budget with Proviso language that directs how it is to be spent," he said.
Committee members discussed whether unused funds would revert to the state general fund; a member said remaining money would go back to SGF if not spent. The chair moved to add the $15,000 and Representative Pickert seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote with no recorded opposition in the transcript.
What happens next: Committee staff will draft proviso language to specify recipient (Friends of Cedar Crest), allowable expenditures and reporting or reversion instructions, and the item will be included in the Administration budget as amended.
