Appropriate Funds from Undesignated Fund Balance to Science and
Technology Advancement FY 2008-09 Budget for Expanded PM2.5 Monitoring
and Other Ongoing Enhanced Activities
The next AQMP, due in
2011, will address attainment of the new 24-hour PM2.5 standard. Staff
has determined that an expanded PM2.5 speciation monitoring network for
calendar year 2009 will improve AQMP modeling estimates of PM2.5 source
contributions. Furthermore, staff has recently been
involved with several enhanced activities related to community-based
special monitoring projects and contracts administration. These ongoing
activities require substantial after-hour and weekend staff time that
was not anticipated in the FY 2008-09 Budget. Therefore, this
action is to appropriate funds in the amount of $355,000 from the
Undesignated Fund balance to the Science and Technology Advancement FY
2008-09 Budget to conduct these enhanced activities. |

Amend Contracts to Provide Short- and Long-Term Systems Development,
Maintenance and Support Services
AQMD currently has
contracts with several companies for short- and long-term systems
development, maintenance and support services. These contracts are
periodically amended to add budgeted funds as additional needs are
defined. This action is to amend one of the contracts approved by the
Board to add additional funding of $205,000 for CLASS maintenance and
server side migration work. Funds for this purchase are included in the
FY 2008-09 Budget. |
