COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ('W SUBJECT: TRANSFER OF $33,000 WITHIN THE BUREAU OF HOUSING BUDGET (1977) DATE: JUNE 21, 1978 The attached bill seeks the transfer of $33,000 within the Bureau of Housing Administration Budget from personnel to non - personnel costs. A surplus exists in BOH personnel costs because of the following: a) During the first program year (July 1975 -June 1976), all adminis- trative costs for CD General Administration, BOH, and several other agencies such as Substandard were combined in one budget. b) During the second program year (July 1976 -June 1977), separate budgets were passed for CD, BOH, and Substandard. c) However, BOH did not immediately incur costs against its second year budget because a significant percentage of the bureau's staff was paid out of Model Cities E -6 funds until August 31, 1976. In addition, sufficient first year funds were available to carry the BOH through September 1976. Consequently, BOH did not begin to use its second year budget until October 1976. d) Apparently, because of the above, BOH did not have to begin using its third year budget until October 1977. e) Because of this situation, staff turnover, and related factors, a surplus of approximately $60,000 exists in BOH personnel costs. We propose to transfer $33,000 to cover various operational expenses through August 1978. In addition, funds are necessary to cover extra- ordinary needs for vehicles and space.
