t <br />r <br />Honorable <br />Page Two <br />October 2, <br />John R. Gould <br />1962 <br />It is assumed that your query pertains to such things <br />as the weekly salaries of county employees and other current <br />operating expenses which normally would be paid on a weekly <br />basis. It should be noted that expenditures made during <br />the month of October 1962, might well amount to nothing <br />more than the disbursement of funds budgeted for the fiscal <br />year ending September 30, 1962. Hence, as a practical matter, <br />the budget for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1962, <br />would not necessarily be involved. <br />You indicate that the county budget in all probability <br />will be finalized during the month of October, 1962. Inas- <br />much as the counties pay their obligations incurred during <br />the month of October in the month of November, it would <br />appear that the problem with which you are concerned will <br />have resolved itself as of that time. If the proposed <br />expenditures during the month of October are for items not <br />included in the budget for the fiscal year ending September <br />30, 1962, or are for things not appearing in the budget <br />for the fiscal year beginning October 10 1962, such expendi- <br />tures clearly are unauthorized. <br />It is suggested that the details of the particular <br />expenditures be discussed with representatives of the <br />State Auditing Department who, I am sure, under the above <br />formula will be able to assist in any mechanical details <br />necessary to continue the uninterrupted continuity of the <br />governmental functions of Indian River County. <br />Hoping these ca®ments are of assistance, I am <br />gerely, <br />Richard W. Ervin <br />Attorney General <br />RWE/rjkf . <br />cc: State Auditing Department <br />
