These provisions are an integral part of the official budget of Whatcom County and shall be published therewith. (A) None of the monies appropriated herein shall be used for travel, lodging, or registration expenses for seminars, workshops, conventions, association meetings, or out of County trips, except as is required by law for mandated training or professional accreditation, or as has been approved in advance by the County Executive (for executive or administrative employees) or the Chairperson of the County Council or the Finance Committee (for legislative employees). (B) Thia department /fund level appropriation is based upon the backup detail budget as attached. Personnel positions included in the backup detail can not be increased during the year except by approval of the County Council. The monies allocated to Personal Services within BARS object 10, Personnel Benefits within object 20 and Capital Outlay within object 60 can be transferred only with the prior approval of the County Executive. (C) To the extent they are available, motor pool cars shall be utilized for County travel purposes by employees stationed in the central County complex before privately -owned vehicles are used on a reimbursement basis. The County Executive shall be authorized to grant exemption from this provision when the cost of a motor pool vehicle would exceed the cost of the use of a private automobile. (D) All construction work funded herein for which the estimated cost is over $25,000 shall be bid out to private contractors, pursuant to the bid procedures contained in Whatcom County Code Chapter 3.08 and applicable state laws, except as the Council may specifically authorize by exception. (E) Appropriation authority for any budgeted personhei position which becomes vacant during 1987 shall continue unless the Council by motion identifies the position as one in need of review. The Executive shall report to the Council once each month on those positions wherein an upcoming vacancy is anticipated or has occurred. (F) Expenditures from the Emergency Contingency Fund shall be made only upon advance approval of the Council. (G) The Purchasing Department shall be responsible for all office equipment maintenance and repair contracts, and with the County Executive's approval, is the sole department authorized to negotiate and enter into such contracts on behalf of Whatcom County. The Purchasing Department shall take advantage of contract consolidation and competitive bidding to promote cost savings. (H) Any monies appropriated for senior services programs within the Parks and Recreation Fund budget may not be transferred to any other activity or program. (I) A list of all encumbrances outstanding at year -end shall be presented to the County Executive. The Executive will determine which of these encumbrances are ongoing contractual obligations of the County and will submit this list to the County Auditor. The appropriation authority for this list presented by the Executive will be carried into the following fiscal year in addition to that approved for that year.

In the event such a reduction cannot be realized, the Executive is directed to propose staff and /or program cuts to meet the target, said proposal to be made no later than 1/31/87. (K) Monies accrued from the domestic violence deferred prosecution assessment shall be maintained in a fund adminis- tered by the Mental Health Board for use in a program to treat victims of domestic violence. (L) It shall be the policy of Whatcom County to levy the state surcharge on all fines (RCW 46.63.110.(3)) in addition to all fines set by the District Court rather than deducting the surcharge from the County's share of such fine. (M) The Director of Public Works, in conjunction with the Personnel Office is requested to immediately perform job evaluations for employees of the Engineering Division and submit a report to the Finance Committee prior to the first Council meeting in January 1987, and to provide recommended amendments to the non - represented employees salary schedule reflecting changes in job responsibilities and salaries, if any.
