Overview
In addition to filing an annual report of its activities, the Board is required by Home Rule Charter Section 3-806(k) to provide an annual accounting of its expenditures. As reported below, the Board spent a total of $845,095 between July 1, 2021 and June 30, 2022.
Factors affecting spending (not updated)
Two major factors contributed to spending below the Board’s FY2022 total appropriation:
The amount spent in Class 100 funds during FY2022 was less than appropriated due to staff turnover. The Board hired two senior staff attorneys in FY2022 to fill these vacancies, and will continue to fill vacancies in FY2023.
Significant portions of our Class 200, 300, and 400 budgets, which cover contracted services and materials & supplies were not spent in FY2022 due to the pandemic. Replacement equipment and supplies were not purchased while the Board’s office was closed. We expect that expenditures will be much closer to our FY2023 Target Budget when the Board’s office reopens.
