Title
FY 2015/16 NOVA Workforce Services Department Expenditure Update and Approval of Budget Modification No. 34
Report
REPORT IN BRIEF
NOVA Workforce Services Department receives funding through the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act formula funding allocations and competitive grants through state and federal sources and corporate and foundation funding.
When the NOVA Workforce Services Department FY 2015/16 budget was developed, several major projections were based on information that was not yet available at that time: the fiscal year was not yet complete; federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act allocations had not been released; and several grants for which the City (through the NOVA Workforce Services Department) had applied had not yet been awarded.
Budget Modification No. 34 for FY 2015/16 is in response to the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act formula funding allocations coming in higher than projected and NOVA's success in being awarded several competitive grants during the year. Budget Modification No. 34 reflects an increase of $300,000 for the NOVA Workforce Services Department budget that will now total $10,800,000 in revenues, a corresponding increase in expenditures by $289,250, and transfers to the General Fund of $10,750. Staff is recommending approval of Budget Modification No. 34.
