RESOLUTION NO. 2013-041
APPROVING THE CORRECTION OF EQUIPMENT RENTAL AND
REVOLVING FUND ACCOUNTING RECORDS
WHEREAS, the Equipment Rental and Revolving Fund was established
in 1983 by ordinance 1983-073; and
WHEREAS, as part of the initial set up of Equipment Rental and
Revolving Fund's accounting records,journal entries were made to record assets. Those
assets included 20 acres of property on Smith Road, the site of the road maintenance and
operations shop, and a property located at 230 Prospect Avenue, site of the former county
motor pool facility; and,
WHEREAS, both of these properties were general government assets of
Whatcom County; and,
WHEREAS, the properties were not purchased by the Equipment Rental
and Revolving Fund, but the properties were recorded as contributions from general
government assets; and,
WHEREAS, transfers of property between funds of the same unit of
government require approval by the legislative body; and,
WHEREAS, it appears that, based on research of county records, the
County Council in 1983, did not approve the transfer of these properties to the Equipment
Rental and Revolving fund;
NOW, THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED by the Whatcom County
Council that it approves correcting Equipment Rental and Revolving Fund's accounting
records to remove the following two properties from the fund's list of assets: 1) 20 acres
of property on Smith Road, site of the road maintenance and operations shop, and 2) 230
Prospect Avenue, site of the former county motor pool facility.
