Base Budget Discussion

The base budget is the estimated minimum cost for providing continued services/operations for each division/ department. It is based on the prior year approved budget with adjustments. This budget shows how much it would cost in the next fiscal year to operate the same programs in the current fiscal year.

• Base Salary and Fringe Benefit Adjustments – The FY 21 approved budget included a 3% compensation increase that was contained in Special Contingencies. These funds were distributed to

County divisions off cycle during the budget year. In addition to the 3% compensation increase added to

the base budget, the budget also includes an increase in the unemployment insurance rate from 0.23% to 0.53%. All other fringe benefits rates remain unchanged.

Addenda & Reductions Discussion

Addenda consist of dollars over and above the base budget target for operating and capital outlay expenses. Recommended addenda items are often funding provided for new initiatives or expanded services but may also include normal cost increases. Addenda reductions may reflect reduced revenue and/or expense needed to equalize revenue shortfalls.
