BULK ITEM: No DEPARTMENT: Budget and Finance
TIME APPROXIMATE: N/A STAFF CONTACT: John Quinn
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: A public hearing to consider approval of a resolution amending the
fiscal year 2026 budget for Fund 101, Fine and Forfeiture.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The purpose of the proposed budget amendment is to bring forward surplus fund balance from the previous
fiscal year so it may be made available for use in the current fiscal year.This additional fund balance is the
result of excess fees remitted by the Monroe County Sheriff's Office & credits received from the Trauma Star
Air Ambulance helicopter manufacturer in fiscal year 2025.The FY2025 excess fees provided by MCSO
exceeded the budgeted amount by$3,096,071. Monroe County also received $2,021,344 in manufacturer
credits related to the purchase of the (3) new Trauma Star Air Ambulances. The proposed fiscal year 2026
budget amendment will bring forward the additional fund balance so it may be used to fund various deferred
maintenance projects at Monroe County Detention Center on Stock Island and to fund future Trauma Star Air
Ambulance related expenditures.This was originally discussed during the "Summer Studies" section of the
July 15th Special Budget Presentation.The detention center related projects are currently budgeted within
the One Cent Infrastructure Sales Surtax Fund (Fund 304).This budget amendment will allow for these
projects to now be funded from the Fine & Forfeiture Fund (Fund 101)which will then free up budget in the
One Cent Infrastructure Sales Surtax Fund (Fund 304)to be used for other capital improvement projects.
