<br />funds for the Foster Care line item 00195675 -9462. These funds
<br />provide for foster care and payments on behalf of children in the
<br />care of the Department. Through the budgetary process,
<br />$900,000.00 was allocated to this line item for these expenses as
<br />well as $400,000.00 of the fund balance was assigned to cover any
<br />expenses above the budgeted amount for foster care, should it be
<br />needed. The Board approved an additional $200,000.00 at the
<br />April regular meeting; however the Department estimates the need
<br />for an additional $120,000.00- $150,000.00 to finish out the year.
<br />Since this is the last Board of Commissioners' meeting in this
<br />fiscal year, the maximum amount is requested for approval.

<br />clarified the funds are coming out of assigned fund balance.

<br />approved $200,000 use of the assigned fund balance at its April meeting. The Department needs
<br />another $150,000 to finish out the year.
