Section II. Provisions Restricting Expenditures
Pursuant to Section 6.60 of the Whatcom County Home Rule
Charter, the following provisions restricting the expenditure
of certain appropriations are enacted for the 1987 fiscal
year. These provisions are an integral part of the official
budget of Whatcom County and shall be published therewith.
(A) This 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.
(B) 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.
(C) 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,

(D) Appropriation authority for any budgeted personnel posi-
tion which becomes vacant during 1988 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.
(E) Any monies appropriated for senior services programs
within the Parks and Recreation Fund budget may not be
transferred to any other activity or program.
(F) Expenditures for the Auditor's Department shall be as
budgeted herein. The Personnel Department, in cooperation
with the Auditor, shall undertake a job audit of that
Department which will examine staffing levels, personnel
requirements, and. job classifications for the various sub -
departments. No monies shall be expended for permanent
replacement personnel in Elections until such management
audit has been completed and reviewed by the Council.
The Auditor is prohibited from expending any sums that
increase the scope of distribution of voters' pamphlets
beyond that level required in 1986.
(G) The Ambulance expenditures shall be as budgeted herein;
the Executive shall review the interlocal governmental
agreement between the City of Bellingham and Whatcom County
by which these governments control the policy and budget of
the Ambulance Service, and shall attempt to renegotiate the
agreement to provide for meaningful policy and budget input
from the County. If such renegotiation is not successful,
the Executive shall investigate and make a report to the
Council on the feasibility and advisability of contracting
out such ambulance service to private enterprise.
(H) Expenditures for the reorganization of the Mental Health
/Substance Abuse and Alcohol Departments shall be as budgeted
herein. The Executive is directed to fully implement the
reorganization of these departments by April 1, 1988.
(I) The Prosecuting Attorney's expenditures shall be as
budgeted herein, provided that with the new receptionist
position funded the office shall maintain telephone reception
service during all regular office hours (8:00 a.m.- 5:00
p.m.), and provided further that the position will not be
filled until a decriminalization ordinance of selected
misdemeanors is presented to the Council for consideration.
(J) Expenditures for the Health Department are as budgeted
herein, with the County contributing $25,000 toward the cost
of remodeling that facility beyond the contribution required
by the formula, provided the City of Bellingham makes a simi-
lar or larger contribution to the .remodeling beyond its for-
mula requirement and providing that entirely adequate parking
is maintained for the Health Department patients and clients.
(K) The Prosecuting Attorney and the Public Defender are
directed to report quarterly to the Council on the use and
status of deferred prosecutions. This mechanism is
encouraged as a means to reduce case load through the
criminal justice system.
