  6. Non-Discretionary Budgets • Most commonly, these accounts are established for permanent personnel costs (salary and benefits of those positions). • All positions will be identified and budgeted for based upon an authorized personnel list maintained by Human Resources.

  7. Non-Discretionary Budgets • Typically identified by the use of object codes: • 11XX • 12XX • 21XX • 22XX • 3XXX • Changes are facilitated by the use of a PA form.

  8. Discretionary Budgets • Colleges allocate and distribute these funds based upon local procedures.

  11. Budget Adjustments • Budget adjustments are used to increase or decrease total appropriations for a specific fund, program, categorical, or grant. • More common examples of when budget adjustments are used are when the District is the recipient of new grants or specifically funded programs or with the establishment of carryover budgets from previous fiscal years. Budget adjustments are ultimately reviewed, approved, and posted by the Budget Director (Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration in his/her absence).

  12. Budget Transfers • Budget transfers are used to reallocate existing budget to different combination codes (i.e. between two different object codes) • General guidelines: • Transfers across funds not permissible • Transfers between different project numbers are not permissible • Transfers from Non-Discretionary object codes must receive prior approval by the Chancellor • All transfers between major object codes are subject to review and approval by the Board of Trustees monthly. So, be sure to include an appropriately detailed explanation in the budget transfer header.
