SJRWMD FY 2017-2018 Final Budget <br />It should be noted that the total budget line includes the use of fund balance. The dollar <br />figure above that line represents the use of fund balance. <br />The District developed its FY 2017-18 budget under the guidelines established by the <br />EOG and DEP, which includes continuing District implementation plans for the <br />beneficial use of excess fund balances. The District's fund balance utilization plan (see <br />Table 1 on the next page) is based primarily on its expanded cooperative funding <br />program. The District reestablished its cost -share program (appropriating $13.5 million <br />for awards to local governments and other partners for construction projects) during FY <br />2013-14. Inclusive of the FY 2017-18 budget appropriation, the District has or will have <br />awarded close to $120.9 million to this program. <br />As the availability of fund balance nears the amounts set aside for Economic <br />Stabilization and Operating Reserve targets adopted by District Policy, the expanded <br />cooperative funding program will likely return to more historical levels after FY 2017-18. <br />Page 17 <br />5, N -),3 <br />
