Purpose

BACKGROUND: Certain accounts are required by Wisconsin State Statute or Administrative Code, grant rules, or by action of the Sauk County Board or its committees, to be expended for specific purposes and any excess funds cannot lapse to fund balance at year-end for general County use.  Similarly, these types of accounts which may be in a deficit position at year-end because of the timing of the receipt of grant reimbursements, are not to receive transfers from the General Fund pending completion of the grant or activity.  The attached list of purposes and amounts as of December 31, 2023 shall be assigned from General Fund balance and within other fund balances for future use and/or reimbursement.

Information Systems Note:  Many of the above-described projects impact the MIS budget and staff.  These projects, however, are continuations of projects already started or planned for 2024

or prior years.
